BBC News - Edward Snowden case: US rebukes China

Microsoft allowed the NSA to circumvent its system of email encryption.

It also said information had been made available through access to cloud storage service SkyDrive and chat service Skype.

Someone somewhere is going now tell me, "Well I'm surprised you did not already know" or "If you've nothing to hide you've nothing to fear"

Clad I stayed away from cloud computing.

GCHQ must be breathing a sigh of relief. There are some limits to what the NSA can do regarding USA residents. GCHQ has no such limits. So all the media focus on NSA means GCHQ can go about its "business" unperturbed - and Bill Hague can keep on lying to us.

BTW: You telling me you don't e-mail anything?

I really don't care. If I had anything sensitive I would keep it locked on physical media or more likely, just store it online but encrypted. But I don't.

All my secret stuff is stored on punched cards* & punched tape.

Anyone got readers handy?

* I was careful & turned off the print along the top edge of the card.

Got you beat, all my secret stuff is in a little black book that rarely leaves my sight.

What's the point of only sending undeliverable messages?

"sending undeliverable messages"

Do you want to try that again?

Not just that but Outlook.com has been backdoored for years so all your email and IM's through that have been slurped as well.

And Skype audio, video and messaging.
