the TLA's cracked the iphone in question, apparently with the help of an israeli security firm.

it is unknown if it was brute forced or a software flaw or if apple helped.

Am sure NSA cracked the iPhone .. Israel just a "distraction".

If NSA can not crack iPhone, then NSA should dissolve and stop wasting tax payers money .. is cracking iPhone more difficult to cracking Russian submarine codes ? ? or mad mullahs chatting ? :lol:

Wouldn't wonder if Apple (silently) had cooperated with NSA.

For Apple this was not a security issue, this was PR for iPhone .. when no milage was left in the confrontation, Apple silently passed the key to NSA.

Israel ? ? :lol: :lol: .. cheap disinformation for idi*ts.

that is vaguely what i think aswell.

i said from day one this is a nonsense apple advertisement and unrelated to any real issue, it fired up all the pro and anti apple people in a frenzy of hyperbolic horseshit, as these things do.

none of our computer systems are that secure, its like locks on houses, it makes things difficult enough to slow down common criminals.

Palestinian for years peering through Israel’s eyes in the sky.
And he didn’t need any high-end gear to get it done



For at least two years, the Palestinian terror group Islamic Jihad could see what the Israeli military’s surveillance drones saw.

That’s the accusation of Israeli prosecutors, who this week arrested a man they saw hacked into the drones’ video feeds. If true, the hack had obvious value to terrorist leaders as they planned their operations against Israeli troops and civilians.

Israeli authorities arrested the alleged hacker, 23-year-old Maagad Ben Juwad Oydeh, this year. On March 23 the Beersheba District Court indicted Oydeh on charges of spying, conspiracy, contact with enemy agents, and membership in an illegal organization.

The Israeli press has referred to Oydeh as a “master hacker.” But his alleged crimes were, on a technical level, probably far less impressive than whatever methods the Israelis used to appprehend him. In fact, American drones were for years succeptible to the same kind of hacks.

I see. The term is "civil forfeiture" and is apparently abused.

Lawyers for U.K. spy agencies said at the start of a trial over privacy concerns that the bulk interception of communications is critical in protecting the country against terrorism.

Without the ability to collect mass data, MI5, MI6 and GCHQ "would be less effective in protecting the U.K. against threats such as terrorism, cyber threats or espionage," government lawyers said in court documents responding to a suit from Privacy International, an advocacy group that’s seeking to clarify whether the U.K. government has been acting lawfully.

"Exploitation of Bulk Personal Datasets is an essential tool that is used on a daily basis, in combination with other capabilities, right across the intelligence services’ operations," an unidentified GCHQ witness said in documents prepared for the trial at a special London court.

According to a report released on Tuesday by the Center for Privacy and Technology at Georgetown University, law enforcement databases contain facial recognition information on more than 117 million Americans, approximately half of all the adults who live in this country. It also discovered that police in more than half of all states can search against the photos stored for government IDs like drivers’ licenses, while at least a quarter of local and state police departments have access to a facial recognition database.

Private eyes
The little-known company that enables worldwide mass surveillance


It seems to me the worldwideweb can now officially be baptized and inaugurated as a worldwide spying machine at large where everybody spies on everybody and that will never go away.

To protect our democracies from electronic rigging we should change our constitutions and make pen, paper and manual counting of the votes the only technologies allowed from now on.

In the annals of the invasive collection of private information via the internet, the story of the We-Vibe Rave may mark a milestone.

Customers have accused the sex toy of sending the manufacturer details of how the high-end vibrator was being used without the consent of the owner. That’s the charge in a federal class-action lawsuit filed in Illinois against Ottawa-based Standard Innovation.

As The New York Times puts it, “Essentially, the government is reducing the risk that the NSA will fail to recognize that a piece of information would be valuable to another agency, but increasing the risk that officials will see private information about innocent people.” Although the agency analysts who will have access to the NSA’s surveillance powers are directed to ignore and redact information pertaining to innocent Americans, if they see evidence of criminal acts in the data they access, they are directed to hand it over to the Justice Department.
The rules have been opposed by civil rights and privacy advocates as lacking protections to prevent abuse. In a statement, American Civil Liberties Union legislative counsel Neema Singh Guliani said, "The procedures released today allow more agencies to directly access information collected by the NSA without a warrant under procedures that are grossly inadequate. This raises serious concerns that agencies that have responsibilities such as prosecuting domestic crimes, regulating our financial policy, and enforcing our immigration laws will now have access to a wealth of personal information that could be misused. Congress needs to take action to regulate and provide oversight over these activities."

Reason | Revenge of the Deep State
Last week, The Wall Street Journal revealed that members of the intelligence community — part of the deep state, the unseen government within the government that does not change with elections — now have acquired so much data on everyone in America that they can selectively reveal it to reward their friends and harm their foes. Their principal foe today is the president of the United States.
. . .
The chickens have come home to roost. In our misguided efforts to keep the country safe, we have neglected to keep it free. We have enabled a deep state to become powerful enough to control a powerful president. We have placed so much data and so much power in the hands of unelected, unaccountable, opaque spies that they can use it as they see fit — even to the point of committing federal felonies. Now some have boasted that they can manipulate and thus control the president of the United States by selectively revealing and concealing what they know about anyone, including the president himself.

This is a perilous state of affairs, brought about by the maniacal passion for surveillance spawned under George W. Bush and perfected under Barack Obama — all with utter indifference to the widespread constitutional violations and permanent destruction of personal liberties.

This is not the government the Framers gave us. But it is one far more dangerous to human freedom than the one from which they seceded in 1776.

you can hide from your ISP and its called a VPN , they are very popular at the moment.

instead of [you] -> [isp] -> [site]
it becomes [you] -> [isp] -> [vpn] -> [site]

all the isp sees is the encrypted VPN traffic however their is a game going on in the sense that an unpopular VPN will not have enough traffic going to disguise your actions, it just moves them, and a popular VPN is bound to be under the attention of the usual suspects.

The site at most genneral can only see you are coming from a VPN proxy unless the site happens to be a three letter government agency.
