Just catching up. Did anyone happen to notice that Q's new trip is a secure trip? In particular, maybe the old ones were meant (or figured they would be) cracked, but now that the previews are over, it's time to get serious?
Des actually has some weaknesses that don't require exhaustive search, and there were special asics to do it rapidly. And this was like 10 years ago years ago. It probably is well within the budget of a hactivist if they have $100,000 (probably is significantly cheaper).
