the russian narrative is probably bunk. they're probably upgrading their own collection worms.

but, what you want to do is keep your encryption algorithms up to date. it's hard to know what the state really has operating; terrabyte chips in parallel at data centres? it's just brute force. a quantum computer should be able to rip apart any existing encryption system, but if you get enough chips in parallel, you've got the same thing.

unless you're a mob boss yourself, you should be less concerned about the state decrypting your data, and more concerned about making life harder for people trying to steal your credit card #.
