[Crypto-chi] NSA to infect millions and bypass crypto

[joe fuentes]

Hello everyone!
Whilst this isn't surprising to read about the NSA - and its brit lackey dog, the GCHQ - is up to its old bag of tricks, wot is a bit disturbing is how it plans to get around crypto by utilizing implants and enable keylogging, webcam and microphone captures and other dastardly and diabolical shenanigans.  The first part of the article is standard stuff though very interesting read  but pay close attention to the section beginning with Circumventing Encryption. 
Now I pose a question to the group; whilst we use crypto tools to guard our privacy how in the heck do we cope with wot these intelligence agencies are doling out as described in this article (which wuz based on the Snowden leaks)??  
Thoughts?
