First off - why would the NSA want your keychain?<p>Prism is all about getting the information directly from the service providers - no need to &quot;steal&quot; it using compromised user credentials.<p>What else would you put in this - a credit card number. Again - why would the NSA need to get your credit card number this way? Surely they can just ask the fucking bank directly and&#x2F;or request info via FBI&#x2F;CIA&#x2F;etc. Credit Card companies already cover purchases from stolen cards&#x2F;card numbers, so in the unlikely event some rogue NSA goon steals your CC number and buys a heap of tin foil hats, you&#x27;re covered.<p>This of course all assumes that the NSA breaks the AES256 encryption on your keychain.<p>I really cannot understand the number of people going batshit crazy over a Crypto-Intel agency spying on people (shock fucking horror, what did you think they do all day?), but happily using search&#x2F;email&#x2F;document storage&#x2F;etc from a for-profit company that freely states &quot;we are going to scan all your email and track all the shit you do, so we can create a profile of your entire life, so we can target you with better ads&quot;
