A few weeks ago, there was quite a big story concerning how the NSA paid
$10 million to RSA to make its compromised random number generator the
"default" in a key RSA product. The RSA issued a ridiculously stupid
"categorical denial" of the report, which actually denied something
entirely different, more or less confirming the original report.
Following this, one of the most well-known security researchers around,
Mikko Hypponen, announced that he was cancelling his planned talk at
RSA's big conference in February. Since then, additional security
experts, including Chris Soghoian, Jeffrey Carr and Josh Thomas have each
announced that they're cancelling their own talks as well. ><

Good book, not practical in real life though.
Happy to have contributed to its printing though.

I have to assume this is a coded message of some caliber.
