This is one article that I hope does not sink, and could benefit from a different title than the one used in the article.

The whole point of this article is to raise awareness that the age-old intelligence trick of planting moles in companies can explain both how the NSA could have access, but the targeted companies wouldn't know it. This squares the newspaper reports with public denials.


Thanks. I agree with what you said, and that's why I posted this article. I've updated the title, do you think it's better now?


I like this title better, but I'm sure that a moderator will change it back. :-(
