Wasn't there a Mafioso who got busted and convicted based on evidence that had been PGP encrypted and where they stole the key with a keyboard dongle?
Nicodemo Scarfo. He used his Dad's federal-prison ID number, but the Feds couldn't guess that, so they blackbagged his computer with a dongle. I don't know who was lamer. It *is* a parable for our community; they could also have used videobugs. There was also, later, some dude who keyboard-bugged Kinkos and got caught. Another sermon from the mount. What *is* your threat model?
