Hmm, I’m having a hard time imagining how someone could get me to divulge the passphrase if they couldn’t also get me to hand over the key backups I own. Of course, my imagination is not the limit here, so is there something I’m missing?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Sage The people fooled by Robin Sage were all intelligence professionals of one stripe or another. These are people who have been vetted for their reliability and discretion, and who regularly get briefed about efforts by foreign powers to get information out of them. They were all aware of the risks. Despite this, they were fooled. It's really easy to point fingers at them and say, "man, what chumps." But the reality is none of us on this list are different than they are. We're human, with the same foibles and weaknesses, and I'm pretty sure Robin Sage would rip through this mailing list like a chainsaw. (For that matter, I have no reason to think one isn't doing so right now. It's worth thinking about.) _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list Gnupg-users@gnupg.org http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
