TrapWire : un réseau d'espionnage dans les mains d'une entité privée Depuis 10 jours, Wikileaks subit une attaque DDOS sans précédent contre ses serveurs, tellement surchargés de connexions qu'ils n'arrivent plus à rester en ligne pour répondre aux demandes légitimes de lecture de ses pages. Jamais le site n'avait connu une offensive d'une telle violence. Or pour Wikileaks, il faut faire un lien direct entre ces attaques et la divulgation de nouveaux e-mails issus de la fuite de Stratfor. Ces e-mails montrent en effet l'existence d'un réseau de surveillance d'ampleur mis en place aux Etats-Unis et en Grande-Bretagne, sous le contrôle d'une société privée baptisée TrapWire, fondée en 2007 (elle s'appelait alors Abraxas Applications, avant de changer de nom suite à la vente de la maison-mère Abraxas Corporation). TrapWire est dirigé par d'anciens haut fonctionnaires de la CIA, trois de ses quatre directeurs étant issus de l'agence américaine, en plus du fondateur de la société.

The new totalitarianism of surveillance technology | Naomi Wolf A software engineer in my Facebook community wrote recently about his outrage that when he visited Disneyland, and went on a ride, the theme park offered him the photo of himself and his girlfriend to buy – with his credit card information already linked to it. He noted that he had never entered his name or information into anything at the theme park, or indicated that he wanted a photo, or alerted the humans at the ride to who he and his girlfriend were – so, he said, based on his professional experience, the system had to be using facial recognition technology. He had never signed an agreement allowing them to do so, and he declared that this use was illegal. He also claimed that Disney had recently shared data from facial-recognition technology with the United States military. Yes, I know: it sounds like a paranoid rant. Except that it turned out to be true.
The Spy files WikiLeaks: The Spy Files Mass interception of entire populations is not only a reality, it is a secret new industry spanning 25 countries It sounds like something out of Hollywood, but as of today, mass interception systems, built by Western intelligence contractors, including for ’political opponents’ are a reality. Today WikiLeaks began releasing a database of hundreds of documents from as many as 160 intelligence contractors in the mass surveillance industry. Working with Bugged Planet and Privacy International, as well as media organizations form six countries – ARD in Germany, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, The Hindu in India, L’Espresso in Italy, OWNI in France and the Washington Post in the U.S. International surveillance companies are based in the more technologically sophisticated countries, and they sell their technology on to every country of the world.

Home | Data.gov Learn How To Make Money Online - OnlineProfits.com NOTW et phone hacking Si vous êtes adeptes de la presse internationale, en particulier de la presse britannique, vous avez très certainement entendu parler du scandale de News Of The World – NOTW pour les initiés – qui aurait procédé à des interceptions téléphoniques de façon illicite et à différents piratages. L’histoire commence en novembre 2005 lorsque le journal fait des révélations concernant une blessure au genou du Prince William. Une plainte est alors déposée par la Couronne. Suite aux procès et aux condamnations d’un journaliste et d’un détective travaillant pour le tabloïd, Andy Coulson, qui dirigeait NOTW depuis 2003, donne sa démission en 2007, clamant qu’il n’était pas au courant de ces pratiques au sein de sa rédaction, déclaration appuyée par ses avocats qui soutiennent que rien dans les emails de l’ancien dirigeant ne laissant croire qu’il puisse être au courant. Il deviendra directeur de la communication du Cabinet de David Cameron. Néanmoins le caller ID spoofing existe toujours.
WikiLeaks and the Global Future of Free Speech Ecuador has acted in accordance with important principles of international human rights. Indeed, nothing could demonstrate the appropriateness of Ecuador’s action more than the British government’s threat to violate a sacrosanct principle of diplomatic relations and invade the embassy to arrest Mr. Assange. Since WikiLeaks’ founding, it has revealed the “Collateral Murder” footage that shows the seemingly indiscriminate killing of Baghdad civilians by a United States Apache attack helicopter; further fine-grained detail about the true face of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars; United States collusion with Yemen’s dictatorship to conceal our responsibility for bombing strikes there; the Obama administration’s pressure on other nations not to prosecute Bush-era officials for torture; and much more. Predictably, the response from those who would prefer that Americans remain in the dark has been ferocious. All such allegations must be thoroughly investigated before Mr. Mr. If Mr.
