ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

Wieso waren sich die USA so sicher, dass Nordkorea hinter dem Sony-Hack steckt? Einem Bericht der "New York Times" zufolge lag es unter anderem an eigenen Online-Attacken. Die NSA soll schon seit 2010 Zugriff auf nordkoreanische Computer haben.

It’s been one year since the Guardian first published the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court order, leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, that demonstrated that the NSA was conducting dragnet surveillance on millions of innocent people. Since then, the onslaught of disturbing revelations, from disclosures, admissions from government officials, Freedom of Information Act requests, and lawsuits, has been nonstop.

On the anniversary of that first leak, here are 65 things we know about NSA spying that we did not know a year ago:

Today in a published excerpt of his forthcoming book, No Place to Hide,Glenn Greenwald reports, citing documents from 2010, that the NSA intercepts routers and servers being shipped from the United States overseas and compromises them.

The NSA denied a report claiming it was aware of and even exploited the "Heartbleed" online security flaw to gather critical intelligence.

The U.S. National Security Agency knew for at least two years about a flaw in the way that many websites send sensitive information, now dubbed the Heartbleed bug, and regularly used it to gather critical intelligence, two people familiar with the matter said.

The NSA’s decision to keep the bug secret in pursuit of national security interests threatens to renew the rancorous debate over the role of the government’s top computer experts.

In a letter to Congress released on Tuesday, the US government confirmed what we all knew (or at least suspected) – the National Security Agency has conducted warrantless searches on Americans' pri...

Former CIA contractor Edward Snowden has alleged that NSAs surveillance is even more widespread than first thought.

The latest documents released by Snowden, first published on Glenn Greenwald's new Interceptwebsite, suggest that the NSA's approach to monitoring targets' computers using eavesdropping malware has been on a near industrial scale, rather than carefully targeted.

Amongst the many tools used to carry out the targeted attacks - via compromised routers or Facebook - is an automated infection application known as ‘TURBINE' that can scale to millions of infection attempts a day.

Spy tools, whether designed by intelligence agencies, cyber crooks or internet creeps, can turn your camera on without illuminating the indicator light. Online tutorials even instruct neophyte hackers on how to hijack your webcam. Fortunately, WIRED is here with a solution.

De nouveaux documents d’Edward Snowden montrent la stratégie offensive de l’agence secrète dont le but final est clairement indiqué : obtenir la suprématie du cyberespace. Et ça fait peur.

Der ehemalige NSA-Mitarbeiter William Binney hat vor dem Bundestagsuntersuchungsausschuss ausgesagt. Er berichtete von Geheimverträgen zwischen den USA und deutschen Behörden.

Den Ansatz der NSA, alles wissen, alles sehen zu wollen, sich nicht nur für Organisationen, sondern für einzelne Menschen zu interessieren, sei totalitär, sagte er. Und dass dieses Wissen auch der Kontrolle der eigenen Bevölkerung diene.

Dem NDR und WDR ist es eigenen Aussagen nach gelungen, einen Teil des Quellcodes des NSA-Tools 'XKeyscore' zu analysieren. Was die Analyse ergibt, lässt einem die Haare zu Berge stehen.

The US National Security Agency (NSA) has been collecting millions of images from the web and storing them in a database that can be mined by facial recognition software for identifying surveillanc...

According to the Times, the NSA's image-gathering program is now more sophisticated and far-reaching since the program began in 2010, and the NSA's software can identify faces even when the targets were wearing different hair styles and facial hair.

"Heartbleed" ist eine der größten Sicherheitslücken in der Geschichte des Internets - und der US-Geheimdienst NSA hat diese offenbar ausgenutzt. Laut Nachrichtenagentur Bloomberg soll der US-Geheimdienst schon lange davon gewusst haben.

The surveillance system is capable of recording “100 percent” of calls in at least one foreign country.

The National Security Agency has built a surveillance system capable of recording “100 percent” of a foreign country’s telephone calls, enabling the agency to rewind and review conversations as long as a month after they take place, according to people with direct knowledge of the effort and documents supplied by former contractor Edward Snowden.

A senior manager for the program compares it to a time machine — one that can replay the voices from any call without requiring that a person be identified in advance for surveillance.

We already knew that the NSA has weaponized the internet, enabling them to "shoot" exploits at anyone they desire. But the Edward Snowden slides and story published yesterday convey a wealth of new detailed information about the NSA's technology and its limitations.

And that’s the bottom line with the NSA’s QUANTUM program. The NSA does not have a monopoly on the technology, and their widespread use acts as implicit permission to others, both nation-state and criminal.
