A secure democratic Net is a fundamental right

2008 started with the month of the EID and we had to close that month down due to a discovery that astonished us so much that we were afraid about what could come next that it was better to inform the responsable people that even those simple bypasses were possible

It was also the year of the first critical report - even if it could go a bit further and was stonewalled by propaganda and a gaff by some politician that diverted the attention.

The update that was published several months later seems even more flawed and for the moment we don't understand what is happening and are utterly confused between middleware, driver and security and quality controls and are not sure about what people are talking and what will be the way forward.

This year also showed that there is a total lack of opennes and audits and research for a project that is so important for our society, privacy and industry.
