    That’s worrisome for our military members. Idgaf about the police side, Spider-Man needs to know what’s up in order to stop the criminals. The police sure as hell aren’t going to do it.

      Russia already cracked radio encryption under Obama:

        If Russia can do it, I’m sure Spider-Man can, too. New York will be fine.

      Why do you hold the military in a different regard?

        Well, when someone hacks the police scanner… they just find out about crimes going on and can swing in to help out. When someone hacks military communication, people die.

    A couple interesting nuggets: this vulnerability had existed in some form since the 90s, and isn’t relevant to the US police or military
