NSA and GCHQ have broken internet encryption, created backdoors that anyone could use

New documents released by Edward Snowden show that the NSA and its British equivalent, GCHQ, have cracked VPNs, SSL, and TLS -- the encryption technologies that keep your data secure on the internet. Perhaps more worryingly, the NSA has an ongoing program to place backdoors in commercial products. The documents, which contain some choice phrases such as "work has predominantly been focused this quarter on Google due to new access opportunities being developed," almost completely undermines the very basis of the internet, obliterating the concept of trust online.
