     @quaithe I'm kind of hoping they're going to hire the guys who exposed Newag to find them all, and I'm only half-joking here.

     (on the one hand military-grade encryption is most likely out of a civilian hacker's league, but on the other hand US military engineers are known to have been sloppy in the past)

     @jzillw There are lots of people who can do reverse-engineering and I'm sure many of the countries in question are on it... But there should be a lot of pressure to prioritise it just in case.

     @quaithe In all seriousness, I can only imagine that everyone's been counter-intelligeting the hell out of the US for the simple reason they have a very large potential to do harm *and* Trump has already been the president once.
