leggete anche questo estratto dell'interrogatorio del procuratore #AlexAcosta che nel 2008 decise di accettare patteggiamento di #JeffreyEpstein: una pena modestissima e no all' incriminazione federale
"Durante la sua inchiesta, qualcuno della comunità di intelligence l'ha avvicinata?" chiede la commissione d'inchiesta al procuratore Acosta. "Qualcuno della #CIA, dal #DipartimentoDiStato o dalla #NSA, qualche agenzia di intelligence come il #Mossad?"

Someone asked me to hand-translate a publicly posted Chinese technical report about NSA shenanigans on the Chinese Center for Time-Keeping network. It took me a while, because it turns out translating technical corporatese from your third language is very hard when chronically sleep deprived, but it is done.

These addresses are always busy and stupid. They want a .php file so they can deploy their kiddie scripts.

all that #Censys bullshit, and it is bullshit merely to map your site so it can be easily hacked..
is COGENT /psinet - the deep state favorite.
CIDR: 66.132.0.0/17

All they did was rebrand and improve their technology.
Don't expect #NSA to admit this is theirs.
It is.

@someguy i will literally never fucking forgive gmail for routing a NIST high school internship acceptance email to spam. makes me so upset i need to do breathing exercises whenever i think of it
@hipsterelectron That's terrible. In the beginning, #Gmail won plenty of people over with, at the time, great spam filtering and 2GB storage. It was a much different time in 2005, however.
Fast forward 20 years and Google's mail service isnt innovative. It doesn't stand out and isn't competitive. Now fully entrenched in the #NSA #PRISM program and the company completely in bed with the #usgovernment everyone has every reason to run away.
I pay for my new provider but it's a HELLUVA lot cheaper than trading #privacy for "free" email.

Today is the 10 year anniversary of #CITIZENFOUR, the out-in-theaters release in the United States was 2014 October 24
if you've never seen it, i highly recommend it! much of the government surveillance that it highlights are either still in practice or are being done by other governments all around the world
here are some old photos i made back on the opening night at SIFF Cinema in Seattle

The discovery of the signal happened purely by chance.
Tilley regularly monitors satellites from his home in British Columbia as a hobby. He was working on another project when he accidentally triggered a scan of radio frequencies that are normally quiet.
"It was just a clumsy move at the keyboard," he said. "I was resetting some stuff and then all of a sudden I'm looking at the wrong antenna, the wrong band." #military #DOD #NSA #USSPACECOM
There goes 10 years of black budget to a hobbyist accident 😂 https://www.npr.org/2025/10/17/nx-s1-5575254/spacex-starshield-starlink-signal

🎬 When Code Became a Weapon
It's easy to take strong encryption for granted, but that hasn't always been the case. This week we're diving into the "Crypto Wars," covering historical attempts by the US government to restrict strong encryption being exported internationally.
https://www.privacyguides.org/videos/2025/05/08/when-code-became-a-weapon/
Let us know what you think of this style of video! We're trying something different, and this is the first in a planned series lined up 😄

"In 2006, a retired AT&T engineer knocked on the door of the EFF's office in a rundown part of San Francisco's Mission district and asked, "Do you folks care about privacy?" With him he carried schematics exposing the largest US government domestic spying operation since Watergate.
That person was Mark Klein, who died on March 8 this year from cancer. He was 79.
After a life working in telecoms, Klein realized he had helped the NSA wire up a listening station in AT&T's San Francisco switching facility - the infamous Room 641A - that was being used to illegally spy on Americans.
The evidence he gathered and shared led to two lawsuits that exposed the extent to which US citizens were being spied on by their own government in the post-9/11 world. Klein faced legal pressure, death threats, and the constant fear of ruin, to get his story out and tell the public what was going on. But Klein regretted nothing."
