Of course this is a problem of the governments own making, by participating in possibly illegal and certainly immoral massive surveillance, they have made everyone suspicious.

At the end of the day there is nothing to stop the bad guys using simple one use cyphers, old school style. So keep pressing forwards and you will be locked out.

The easy route is now gone, the security services are going to have to get back to working for a living, and I suspect getting back out with conventional intelligence methods might well keep us all safer. After all the weakest link in most security system is at the human interface!

Just another reminder of how different businesses practices are for Chinese tech companies. Never would have expected a company to go clearly beyond the gray into the black like this, though.

I wanted to point out that this issues does not exclusively affect Xen, it also affects other QEMU based technologies such as KVM … see https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2015-5154 – When reading the article, one gets the impression this is a Xen issue only.
