Sorry, but the fact that this stands and does not have American citizens in an uproar tells me a lot about the state of our nation. This is the single greatest invasion of privacy and invasion of our constitutional rights in history.

The NSA has more supercomputer access than anyone else on Earth. If they can break 1024-bit encryption, they could easily track all cellphone calls.

This is probably the main reason, NSA, is building its massive data storage center in Utah. With millions of smart phones in the US and our allies, a lot of storage must be needed.

” The U.S. National Security Agency is able to crack protective measures on iPhones, BlackBerry and Android devices, giving it access to users’ data on all major smartphones, according to a report Sunday in German news weekly Der Spiegel.”

And if they can access data, they can plant data.

Obama administration had restrictions on NSA reversed in 2011
The Washington Post ^ | Ellen Nakashima

Posted on Sunday, September 08, 2013 6:59:34 AM by originalbuckeye

The Obama administration secretly won permission from a surveillance court in 2011 to reverse restrictions on the National Security Agency’s use of intercepted phone calls and e-mails, permitting the agency to search deliberately for Americans’ communications in its massive databases, according to interviews with government officials and recently declassified material.

In addition, the court extended the length of time that the NSA is allowed to retain intercepted U.S. communications from five years to six years — and more under special circumstances, according to the documents, which include a recently released 2011 opinion by U.S. District Judge John D. Bates, then chief judge of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

Techniques are used to eavesdrop on specific individuals.
Looks like the only way to have security is talk face to face only.

Well, i would hope the NSA has this capability, because their Chinese counterparts do. The only thing i wonder when i read this stuff is how often the NSA impersonates the Chinese & Russian state-sponsered hackers to obfuscate their cybertracks.

Once you wrap your head around the intrusion capabilities of these freaks to get past the paranoia stage, it can even be a source of entertainment. We’ve created our own redneck-based language to use in front of phones, computers, etc., and it can get quite hilarious at times. Our latest entertainment involved trying to inject the uniquely illiterate “Honey-BooBoo Family Phonics” into our own vernacular. Lol! Have you ever tried speaking a complete sentence without ever closing your lips to form the words?

- One very simple method used to hack into a large email service “somewhere” in the USA

add a period before the @ in the email account you want to access (or even edit!!!!)

kenyanjerk.@dingbat.com

Now use ANY password

You are now inside somebody’s email mailto:kenyanjerk@dingbat.com account

Too simple?

Really?

I opened this email account:

autoresponder@dingbat.com

by using:

autoresponder.@dingbat.com

The email site was not amused

Start by calling back all 0bama phones. Give the poor a landline and dial up access.

Old news. Software to do this has been publicly available for about 10 years. Just one example:

And anything you have in the cloud, internet connected computer, or purchased with a credit card or check.

In other words, anything that isn’t a Dead Tree Book or bought with cash.

If anyone thinks the government isn’t tracking phones calls and internet browsing history, I have some ocean front property in Nebraska to sell them.

Old Ted Kaczinski’s anti-technology rant doesn’t look quite as insane as it used to, does it?
