guess its back to hiding encrypted messages buried within readable, but nonsensical data with a system to not only automate the garble, but to extract the intended bit, rebuild the string, then apply the private key to release the message.
More work, but a win / win for black hats. Government makes "no data" safe from backdoor hacks on legitimate users, and they still have their encrypted message flying passed the best IDS.
It's easy to jump on the bandwagon and tongue slash others for "not doing their part", especially when the parties who are positioned to gain from the hysteria are pushing the agenda so hard.
Want to save the world? Start at home. Don't recycle? Don't conserve resources? Run out and buy the latest gadget every six months? Use disposables (to include that $5 dollar cup of coffee every morning...)?
You are just as big a part of the problem.
(and off the soap box I hop).
Is it heads or tails? Everyone is so bloody ready to "forgive" Hillary for blatantly setting up shadow IT services, ignoring the warnings from the IT professionals tasked to protect Government secrets (which may have had the butterfly effect of oh, say Benghazi....)
But omg, someone with some balls in his pants upset the establishment? Must have been Weiner's wiener... Can't have anything to do with Americans actually caring about the Country more than free handouts.
So Putin decided to use the Queen's Gambit. Giving up the pawn (Clinton's blatant disregard for network security) and instead cashing in on Trump (knowing that his hackers don't need a pawn like Clinton to get their claws into US Classified material). Instead he's used the control of the board to put the American People into check, with Check Mate coming with the intended fall of Trump.
And the best part: He's getting the American Pawns to do it for him with Psychological warfare... Well Played, Putin!
