NSA working to undermine the last ten years of encryption

New information about NSA surveillance activity emerges. Even encrypted data is vulnerable to its data mining.

Last week’s investigative piece by the New York Times, ProPublica, and the Guardian showed that the NSA was not only conducting surveillance, but also working to undermine the last ten years of encryption online. Chester Wisniewski, senior advisor at the cyber security firm Sophos, joins Marketplace Morning Report host David Brancaccio to discuss.
