NSA paid 10M$ to RSA to insert an encryption backdoor in its solution

"“Documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden show that the NSA created and promulgated a flawed formula for generating random numbers to create a “back door” in encryption products, the New York Times reported in September. Reuters later reported that RSA became the most important distributor of that formula by rolling it into a software tool called Bsafe that is used to enhance security in personal computers and many other products.” states the Reuters article."

they have the ability to break others. I have known this since the 1980's. The U.S. govt created the Internet by the way.
