    US and British intelligence agencies have successfully cracked much of the online encryption relied upon by hundreds of millions of people to protect the privacy of their personal data, online transactions and emails, according to top-secret documents revealed by former contractor Edward Snowden.

                  [T]he agencies have not yet cracked all encryption technologies, however, the documents suggest. Snowden appeared to confirm this during a live Q&A with Guardian readers in June. "Encryption works. Properly implemented strong crypto systems are one of the few things that you can rely on," he said before warning that NSA can frequently find ways around it as a result of weak security on the computers at either end of the communication. ...
                  If you get your encryption programs free for Windows at downoad.com -- you are screwed. If you buy commercially available encryption modules for your programs you are screwed.

                  If you code with CBC and secure algorithms making your own encryption you are still OK.

                  Windows has a backdoor installed for government agencies -- this has been known over 10 years.
