FBI spy device

[Hash Zeppelin]

Surprisingly the NSA is the good federal police force, if you can say such a thing lol. They hire average Americans that dont have time to waste on peaceful people. The DEA and The CIA are the crooked ones. They are the strong armed thugs and gestapo of the federal LEO. So blab all you want with free speech. use peaceful civil disobedience, and you are ok. However if you ever plan to really be violent they will come put bullets through your eyes with no trial.

This cracks me up

The government does not want to disclose more information about the stingray gear saying that it is “law enforcement sensitive” and that revealing information about it would allow criminals to evade it. The prosecution has been asking for a chance to give Judge Campbell information about the device that it says would rebut some of the claims Mr. Rigmaiden is making.

Fuck them. how about we need to know if it violates the constitution.

i think its funny how most people can shrug off the governments exuberant surveillance habits by just saying, there not coming after me. yeah well think about others for a change... cause one day it could be you... then what.

Infected PCs may lose Internet in July

WASHINGTON – For computer users, a few mouse clicks could mean the
difference between staying online and losing Internet connections this
summer.

July.

Sponsored LinksUnknown to most of them, their problem began when
international hackers ran an online advertising scam to take control
of infected computers around the world. In a highly unusual response,
the FBI set up a safety net months ago using government computers to
prevent Internet disruptions for those infected users. But that system
is to be shut down.

The FBI is encouraging users to visit a website run by its security
partner, http://www.dcwg.org, that will inform them whether they're
infected and explain how to fix the problem. After July 9, infected
users won't be able to connect to the Internet.

Most victims don't even know their computers have been infected,
although the malicious software probably has slowed their web surfing
and disabled their antivirus software, making their machines more
vulnerable to other problems.

Last November, the FBI and other authorities were preparing to take
down a hacker ring that had been running an Internet ad scam on a
massive network of infected computers.

"We started to realize that we might have a little bit of a problem on
our hands because … if we just pulled the plug on their criminal
infrastructure and threw everybody in jail, the victims of this were
going to be without Internet service," said Tom Grasso, an FBI
supervisory special agent. "The average user would open up Internet
Explorer and get 'page not found' and think the Internet is broken."

On the night of the arrests, the agency brought in Paul Vixie,
chairman and founder of Internet Systems Consortium, to install two
Internet servers to take the place of the truckload of impounded rogue
servers that infected computers were using. Federal officials planned
to keep their servers online until March, giving everyone opportunity
to clean their computers. But it wasn't enough time. A federal judge
in New York extended the deadline until July.

Now, said Grasso, "the full court press is on to get people to address
this problem." And it's up to computer users to check their PCs.

This is what happened:

Hackers infected a network of probably more than 570,000 computers
worldwide. They took advantage of vulnerabilities in the Microsoft
Windows operating system to install malicious software on the victim
computers. This turned off antivirus updates and changed the way the
computers reconcile website addresses behind the scenes on the
Internet's domain name system.

The DNS system is a network of servers that translates a web address —
such as www.ap.org — into the numerical addresses that computers use.
Victim computers were reprogrammed to use rogue DNS servers owned by
the attackers. This allowed the attackers to redirect computers to
fraudulent versions of any website.

The hackers earned profits from advertisements that appeared on
websites that victims were tricked into visiting. The scam netted the
hackers at least $14 million, according to the FBI. It also made
thousands of computers reliant on the rogue servers for their Internet
browsing.

When the FBI and others arrested six Estonians last November, the
agency replaced the rogue servers with Vixie's clean ones. Installing
and running the two substitute servers for eight months is costing the
federal government about $87,000.

The number of victims is hard to pinpoint, but the FBI believes that
on the day of the arrests, at least 568,000 unique Internet addresses
were using the rogue servers. Five months later, FBI estimates that
the number is down to at least 360,000. The U.S. has the most, about
85,000, federal authorities said. Other countries with more than
20,000 each include Italy, India, England and Germany. Smaller numbers
are online in Spain, France, Canada, China and Mexico.

Vixie said most of the victims are probably individual home users,
rather than corporations that have technology staffs who routinely
check the computers.

FBI officials said they organized an unusual system to avoid any
appearance of government intrusion into the Internet or private
computers. And while this is the first time the FBI used it, it won't
be the last.

"This is the future of what we will be doing," said Eric Strom, a unit
chief in the FBI's Cyber Division. "Until there is a change in legal
system, both inside and outside the United States, to get up to speed
with the cyber problem, we will have to go down these paths,
trail-blazing if you will, on these types of investigations."

Now, he said, every time the agency gets near the end of a cyber case,
"we get to the point where we say, how are we going to do this, how
are we going to clean the system" without creating a bigger mess than
before.

The problem is, the fruits of this increased surveillance and analysis can be used by the gestapo-like agencies to push their own agendas. NSA can be neutral and benign and still aid and abet those who abuse their power.

There have always been elements that want to suppress free speech and peaceful civil disobedience, and I hate to see anything that could help them do it.
