THE ACTIVIST TALKS TO POPULAR SCIENCE ABOUT DIGITAL NAรVETร
Lundi 15 aoรปt, le site spรฉcialisรฉ The Intercept et Television New Zealand ont rรฉvรฉlรฉ, pour la premiรจre fois, le nom dโun homme visรฉ, pendant plusieurs mois, par lโespionnage de la National Security Agency (NSA) amรฉricaine, en se basant sur des documents dรฉvoilรฉs par Edward Snowden.
Selon The Intercept et Television New Zealand, la NSA aurait eu accรจs ร ses conversations menรฉes sur Gmail et Facebook et les auraient transmises aux services de renseignement nรฉo-zรฉlandais. En 2013, le Washington Post et le Guardian avaient assurรฉ que plusieurs gรฉants du Web, comme Google, Apple, Microsoft ou encore Facebook, avaient acceptรฉ de coopรฉrer avec la NSA pour leur donner accรจs aux informations de leurs utilisateurs. Ce que ces entreprises ont toujours dรฉmenti.
"Edward Snowden used login credentials and passwords provided unwittingly by colleagues ... to access some of the classified material he leaked. ... A handful of agency employees who gave their login details to Snowden were identified, questioned and removed from their assignments. ... Snowden may have persuaded between 20 and 25 fellow workers at the NSA regional operations center in Hawaii to give him their logins and passwords by telling them they were needed for him to do his job as a computer systems administrator. ... People familiar with efforts to assess the damage to U.S. intelligence caused by Snowden's leaks have said assessments are proceeding slowly because Snowden succeeded in obscuring some electronic traces of how he accessed NSA records. ... The revelation that Snowden got access to some of the material he leaked by using colleagues' passwords surfaced as the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee approved a bill intended in part to tighten security over U.S. intelligence data. One provision of the bill would earmark a classified sum of money ... to help fund efforts by intelligence agencies to install new software designed to spot and track attempts to access or download secret materials without proper authorization.'"
"Government whistleblower Edward Snowden, exiled in Russia after releasing top-secret documents about the National Security Agency's surveillance activities to the press, has a new job: tech support. Snowden's lawyer, Anatoly Kucherena, told the Associated Press that his client starts work Nov. 1 for a "major" Russian Website, which he declined to name. In June, Snowdenโa former CIA employee who worked as a contractor for the NSAโbegan feeding an enormous pile of classified charts and documents about federal surveillance programs to The Guardian and other newspapers. Many of those documents suggested that the NSA, ordinarily tasked with intercepting communications from terrorists and foreign governments, collects massive amounts of information on ordinary Americans, which in turn ignited a firestorm of controversy. The Snowden revelations have continued into this week, with The Washington Post reporting that the NSA has aggressively targeted Google and Yahoo servers. Snowden's documents suggest that the agency has figured out how to tap the links connecting the two tech giants' datacenters to the broader Web. Google told the Post that it was "troubled" by the report. A Yahoo spokesperson insisted that the company had "strict controls in place to protect the security of our datacenters" and that "we have not given access to our data centers to the NSA or to any other government agency.""
"The Guardian reports: 'British Prime Minister David Cameron has encouraged a Commons select committee to investigate whether the Guardian has broken the law or damaged national security by publishing secrets leaked by the National Security Agency whistleblower Edward Snowden. He made his proposal in response to a question from former defense secretary Liam Fox, saying the Guardian had been guilty of double standards for exposing the scandal of phone hacking by newspapers and yet had gone on to publish secrets from the NSA taken by Snowden. Speaking at prime minister's questions on Wednesday, Cameron said: "The plain fact is that what has happened has damaged national security and in many ways the Guardian themselves admitted that when they agreed, when asked politely by my national security adviser and cabinet secretary to destroy the files they had, they went ahead and destroyed those files. So they know that what they're dealing with is dangerous for national security."''"
Nous nโy sommes plus dans la guerre froide si ce nโest celles des pouvoirs contre leurs propres populations transformรฉs toutes en de potentiels ennemis intรฉrieurs. Cโest le point commun entre Prism et la Stasi.
Depuis les rรฉvรฉlations initiales dโEdward Snowden au sujet du programme amรฉricain de surveillance Prism, la NSA est dรฉjร passรฉe une fois devant le Congrรจs pour justifier de lโefficacitรฉ de sa lourde machinerie. Les doutes qui avaient รฉtรฉ รฉmis se sont renforcรฉs cette semaine, les responsables du renseignement faisant face ร des parlementaires visiblement remontรฉs contre les informations rรฉvรฉlรฉes.
A sociology professor in Sweden has recommended NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden for the Nobel Peace Prize.
In a letter addressed to the Norwegian Nobel Committee and published in Swedish newspaper Vรคsterbottens-Kuriren, Professor Stefan Svallfors nominated Snowden for his 'heroic effort at great personal cost' shedding light on the expansive cyber-spying conducted by the U.S. National Security Agency.
Snowden and Assange besieged but not defeated, while privacy has a better chance now than it had before. We talk to freedom activist and free software developer Richard Stallman, who believes the fight against the total surveillance on the part of the governments is far from over. The founder of GNU project and Free software foundation speaks to Sophie Shevardnadze on SophieCo about the recent leaks of the NSA and social media.
Je mโappelle Edward Snowden. Il y a un peu plus dโun mois, jโavais une famille, une maison au paradis et je vivais dans un trรจs grand confort. Jโavais aussi la capacitรฉ, sans aucun mandat, de chercher, de saisir et de lire toutes vos communications. Celles de nโimporte qui, nโimporte quand. J'avais le pouvoir de changer le sort des personnes.
