Xkeyscore renders the security state more powerful than the 1% (deep state) Targetfreedom | Apparently the criminals in the United States government now have a vested interest in keeping Edward Snowden alive and safe.

Congressional members were informed that Snowden possesses: A complete roster of absolutely every employee, and official, in the entire US Government. The names, home addresses, unlisted personal home telephone numbers, personal cellular phone numbers, dates of birth and social security numbers of every person involved in any way, with any department of the US Government.

New revelations about National Security Agency abuses, which now include everything from industrial espionage to reports that the agency can access most data on our smartphones, seem to put everything we know about how business is done on the Internet in danger. E-commerce relies on data encryption for everything from secure credit card transactions to protecting trade secrets. The NSA's seemingly limitless ability to crack encryption has not only put the privacy of private citizens in danger, it also threatens to shake the foundations of online business. The accusation that the NSA has been spying on Petrobas, Brazil's largest oil company, through the "Blackpearl" program that extracts data from private networks, not only highlights the culture of abuse rife within the agency but also the danger of having the veil of security pulled back for anyone doing business on the Internet.

US spy system XKeyscore allows NSA to 'wiretap anyone' Citing classified documents provided by fugitive intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, British newspaper The Guardian has said that XKeyscore is the most wide-reaching program operated by the National Security Agency (NSA). The paper said the existence of XKeyscore proves the truth of Snowden's earlier claim, denied by some US officials, that before he left the NSA, he could "wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant to a federal judge or even the president, if I had a personal email". On its website on Wednesday, The Guardian published a batch of slides from what appears to be an internal US intelligence training briefing laying out the capabilities of the XKeyscore program. The paper had blacked out four of the 32 slides because "they reveal details of specific NSA operations", but the rest lay out the operation of the program in detail.
The slides are marked "Top Secret", and restricted to authorised personnel from the US, Britain, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

NSA Accused of Spying on Brazilian Oil Company, Suspected of Industrial Espionage - Technology Advice. Having spent the last three months dealing with the exposure of leaked info, the U.S.’s National Security Agency continues to face mounting accusations — with the latest indictment being one of the most significant thus far.
Jonathan Watts of The Guardian is reporting that the NSA has been accused of spying on Petrobras — Brazil’s top oil conglomerate and one of the 30 biggest companies in the word — following the release of more documents uncovered by whistle-blower Edward Snowden. Brazilian news program Fantástico reported that a top secret file obtained by Snowden details the NSA’s ”Blackpearl” initiative, which aims to procure vital data from private networks. The suspicion here is that the U.S. is committing economic and industrial espionage by attempting to steal classified info on Petrobras and other multinational companies. On September 8, the NSA’s Director of National Intelligence James Clapper made an official response to these allegations: Sources: 1. 2. NSA slide ties U.S. surveillance to Brazilian oil company. You’re not the only one that the National Security Agency has been spying on. The NSA is also allegedly spying on Petrobras, Brazil’s largest oil company and the Southern Hemisphere’s largest company by market cap.
The revelation comes from a slide titled “Private networks are important,” leaked by by former Booz Allen Hamilton analyst Edward Snowden. The news was first aired on the Brazilian news show Fantástico. Given Latin America’s drift left over the last decade, and the history of U.S. interference in the domestic politics of the region, America has experienced an increasing geopolitical strain with its southern neighbors. Among the problems this disclosure has already created is the accusation that U.S. intelligence is stepping out far beyond its mandate to serve America’s national security.

NSA accused of spying on Brazilian oil company Petrobras | World news. The US National Security Agency has been accused of spying on Brazil's biggest oil company, Petrobras, following the release of more files from US whistleblower Edward Snowden. The latest disclosures, which aired on Brazil's Fantástico news program, have led to accusations that the NSA is conducting intelligence-gathering operations that go beyond its core mission of national security – often cited as the key distinction between the agency and its counterparts in China and Russia.
The revelations are likely to further strain ties between the US and Brazil ahead of a planned state dinner for president Dilma Rousseff at the White House in October. Bileteral relations have already been muddled by the earlier release of NSA files showing the US agency intercepted Brazilian communications and spied on Rousseff and her aides. Petrobras is the largest company in Brazil and one of the 30 biggest businesses in the world. But he again denied this amounted to industrial espionage. US Nicknames and Codewords. (Updated: January 18, 2014) Below is a listing of nicknames and codewords related to US Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) and Communications Security (COMSEC). Most of them are from the NSA, some are from other government or military agencies. Some of them also have an abbreviation which is shown in brackets. NICKNAMES are generally unclassified. NSA uses single word nicknames, outside NSA they usually consist of two separate words, with the first word selected from alphabetical blocks that are assigned to different agencies by the Joint Staff.
CODEWORDS are always classified and always consist of a single word. Due to very strict secrecy, it's not always clear whether we see a nickname or a codeword, but terms mentioned in public sources like job descriptions are of course unclassified nicknames. Please keep in mind that a listing like this will always be work in progress (this list has been copied on some other websites and forums, but only this one is being updated frequently!).
