Hi SM,

Thanks for the Infos.

I believe I should rather have waited until there are more technical
disclosures that will done by Mr. S.S, literally nothing for now, so
everything going around are speculations of speculations.
I panicked because I saw a local tech expert mentioned publicly that such a
sniffing tool could collect the data and decrypt it to access our personal
information, but when the panic subsided, I thought like an engineer.

Awaiting some technical disclosures to have a proper discussion on it,
well, if we ever get to have some...

Cheers,
CS
