Encryption isn't hacked it is cryptanalyzed. And civilians have access to very strong encryption. Actually, civilians have access to military grade encryption, but the people on SR are not using truly military grade encryption in the overwhelming majority of cases. RSA is no longer approved for information at the secret or top secret levels, ECDH and ECDSA are. The symmetric encryption algorithms people on SR are using are military grade for up to Top Secret but there is a higher level of classification that uses classified encryption algorithms. Also the mode of operation used for symmetric algorithms is not accepted for secret or top secret information even though the algorithms themselves are. But it really doesn't matter because PGP and Truecrypt are both secure, even if they are not military grade. Two weeks is a laugh and a half.
