[wrong] CIA Internal Documents use Broken Hash to Verify File Integrity

[Karl]

So, what is going on that the CIA is using the MD5 hash?

Basically, this means that someone somewhere wants to something to be
altered that has an md5 hash, and either this branch of the CIA is the
target, or the impact of the effort reached and influenced them somehow.

- the cia could be watching, like a honeypot in your own systems
- the nsa or such could be infiltrating the cia
- the cia could be blindly following very old norms out of chance
- security businesses could be planning to take over the govnment
- foreign militaries could have been psyoping american military research
- cia employees could have been planning to take over their government

it could be anything.   but whatever it is, it seems important to
understand what.

who, in 2013, was using _better_ hashes than md5?
