Re: Reign of Steel - NSA McGuffin
The approach I took in my campaigns was that a higher TL can trivially decrypt lower TL cryptography -- so for example the vidcom network of Zone London (TL8) is wide open to zonemind tapping and insertion.
And then there was the time the vidcom network started receiving network diagnostic packets saying that the Southampton node was offline... that would be the Southampton node that's in the middle of a Zone London robofac facility...
