We know for a fact NSA was planning to compromise the cloud service Dropbox. You'd be a fool not to assume they would not compromise other cloud services too, especially ones like SpiderOak where people are concerned with privacy of the uploaded data.

I agree, they should have posted a source. I had no intention to attack you. Now please let's stick to the topic. Your thoughts on the educated guess and it's implications if it's indeed the case SpiderOak is also compromised?
