"The flaws, to be reported at a hacker conference in Hamburg this month, are actually functions built into SS7 for other purposes – such as keeping calls connected as users speed down highways, switching from cell tower to cell tower – that hackers can repurpose for surveillance because of the lax security on the network. It is thought that these flaws were used for bugging German Chancellor Angela's Merkel's phone. Those skilled at the housekeeping functions built into SS7 can locate callers anywhere in the world, listen to calls as they happen or record hundreds of encrypted calls and texts at a time for later decryption (Google translation of German original). There is also potential to defraud users and cellular carriers by using SS7 functions, the researchers say. This is another result of security being considered only after the fact, as opposed to being part of the initial design."This shows the NSA isn't interested in security since it took advantage of this flaw but kept it secret. This is the kind of stuff the NSA is inserting into base technology, making us all less safe.
Hacks of government skyrocket.
To say FBI agents usually mishandle evidence is giving them the benefit of the doubt they don't deserve. This is corruption.
Turkey arrests critics of government on terrorism charges. This is what the war on terror has always been about.
So police, firefighters and security guards are the most obese workers in America followed by social workers, clergy and counselors. That's a big, government fat party.
