Interpol cracks encryption in 2 weeks

by Doughboy <anon@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > May 16, 2008 at 06:13 AM

According to this re****t, Interpol manage to gain access to 983
encrypted files, using 10 computers running continuously for 2 weeks.

It would be interesting to know what type of encryption it was, as 2
weeks seems rather quick. If encryption can be cracked in such a short
time, it rather weakens one of the UK Government's arguments for
needing to extend the detention without charge limit for terrorism
suspects.
