Encyrption back door?

So you CAN put back doors into encrypted software. So what our Pritti Home Secretary said is correct and our security services CAN have their data.

... Wait a cotton-picking minute there. I thought the mathematics says its not possible. Two very large primes are all that's needed, and there's no other way in. So presumably either the messages were not encrypted, or the platform got hacked and someone installed a keylogger. Hmm, now which of these is the more likely...?
