NSA Security Awareness Posters
From a FOIA request, over a hundred old NSA security awareness posters. Here are the BBC’s favorites. Here are Motherboard’s favorites.
I have a related personal story. Back in 1993, during the first Crypto Wars, I and a handful of other academic cryptographers visited the NSA for some meeting or another. These sorts of security awareness posters were everywhere, but there was one I especially liked—and I asked for a copy. I have no idea who, but someone at the NSA mailed it to me. It’s currently framed and on my wall.
I’ll bet that the NSA didn’t get permission from Jay Ward Productions.
Tell me your favorite in the comments.

The telephone handset hanging from a rope on page 92/139 (Doc ID 6614876) is a direct illustration of the motivation posters in Brazil (1985), inter alia at the beginning when the Tuttle/Buttle printer SNAFU happens: Loose talk is noose talk!
Terry Gilliam wasn’t that off the mark…
