Everything is hackable

Privacy Advocates Blast Plan to Expand NSA Data Sharing


"A major U.S network equipment maker has acknowledged that someone repeatedly gained access to its source code to make its default products encryption unbreakable, he testified. The intruders also introduced a default password that would give them undetectable access to some of the target networks worldwide."

 =====================
So  , basically , now the people who make phones and routers and stuff are getting hacked , and their stuff is getting it's basic code altered to include security holes (a default password where one did not exist before)  ?

Everything in the world is hackable, it seems.  Even the stuff that's not supposed to be hackable, they just hack the factory making the stuff and introduce unauthorized changes. 

Get your CRAP off the internet , people ! Anything mission critical needs to be on stand alones ! With couriers running around with usb sticks in their pockets. 

Time to start making air gaps. Two computers gotta talk ? Someone has to copy the stuff to a usb stick and then from the stick to the other computer. This automated everyone is on the same world wide web stuff just isn't working anymore.
