NSA Can Decode Most Virtual Private Networks

Documents published this week by the German news magazine Der Speigel at http://goo.gl/xIvm1c reveal that the National Security Agency’s Office of Target Pursuit (OTP) maintains a team of engineers dedicated to cracking the encrypted traffic of virtual private networks (VPNs) and has developed tools that could potentially uncloak the traffic in the majority of VPNs used to secure traffic passing over the Internet today.

However, there is some good news: New Snowden documents show that some forms of encryption still cause problems for the NSA.
