GCHQ, NSA, Echelon, Prism, Tempora & Big Brother. Japan's workforce spy tech goes extreme. By Michael Fitzpatrick You're being watched: Tokyo at night.
FORTUNE -- Having ceded the battle of the gadgets to Korea and the U.S., Japan's electronics titans need to reinvent themselves -- this time as our great protectors, apparently. Harnessing moral panics, such as fear of crime or terrorism, Japan's largest tech companies are growing and investing heavily in systems for executive command and control, surveillance, and border checks. Immer noch wahr: Still true: #prism #tempora : ChrisStoecker. Leaked memos reveal GCHQ efforts to keep mass surveillance secret. The UK intelligence agency GCHQ has repeatedly warned it fears a "damaging public debate" on the scale of its activities because it could lead to legal challenges against its mass-surveillance programmes, classified internal documents reveal.
German media neglects UK mass surveillance. DW: Edward Snowden's revelations on surveillance by the US and Britain have played out very differently in Germany and in Britain.
While German media covered the issue prominently and continuously, British outlets with the exception of the Guardian and the BBC seemed to report about the story with much less gusto. Having worked in both German and British media, how do you explain this difference? Are the Brits Trying to Protect British Telecom? Glimmerglass Intercepts Undersea Cable Traffic for Spy Agencies. Glimmerglass, a northern California company that sells optical fiber technology, offers government agencies a software product called “CyberSweep” to intercept signals on undersea cables.
The company says their technology can analyze Gmail and Yahoo! Mail as well as social media like Facebook and Twitter to discover “actionable intelligence.” Could this be the technology that the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) is using to tap global communications? The company says it counts several intelligence agencies among its customers but refuses to divulge details. “Revolutions in communications technologies are usually followed by revolutions in collection capabilities,” Jeffrey Richelson, a senior fellow at the National Security Archives and the author of the definitive guide to the U.S. intelligence agencies, told CorpWatch. Undersea cable cut near Egypt slows down Internet in Africa, Middle East, South Asia. It is like Groundhog Day!
Once again an undersea cable has been cut — the South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe 4 (aka SEA-ME-WE 4) cable and that is causing an internet (and communications) slowdown in and around Africa, the Middle East and parts of Asia. Undersea cable cut affects 50% of Pakistan’s internet traffic. Internet speed slows down by 60% in several countries including Pakistan.
Internet speed slowed don by 60 percent when an undersea internet cable got cut in the Arabian sea. KARACHI: A fiber optic cable got cut in the Arabian Sea near Karachi resulting in nearly 60 per cent decrease in internet speed across Pakistan on Wednesday. Nearly 50 per cent of Pakistan’s internet traffic faces disruption as SMW4 – one of the four undersea cables that connects the country with internet was damaged. Undersea cables are actually more vulnerable than you might think. The idea that saboteurs in wetsuits would dive to the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea and cut a fibre optic cable, though not impossible, is highly unlikely, if only because doing so would be a good way to wind up dead.
"These cables are carrying thousands of volts of power," Mark Simpson, CEO of SEACOM, told Wired. The company owns five undersea fibre optic lines running from South and East Africa to Asia and Europe. Attempting to cut such a line could easily kill you, he said, making sabotage "pretty unusual and pretty dangerous. " The Ecuadorian Library — Geek Empire. Or, The Blast Shack After Three Years Back in distant, halcyon 2010, I was asked to write something about Wikileaks and its Cablegate scandal.
So, I wrote a rather melancholy essay about how things seemed to me to be going — dreadfully, painfully, like some leaden and ancient Greek tragedy. In that 2010 essay, I surmised that things were going to get worse before they got any better. Sure enough, things now are lots, lots worse. Much worse than Cablegate ever was. American eavesdropping: ‘UK secretly agreed to US surveillance of British citizens’ Ted Rall's Rallblog. Opt out of global data surveillance programs like PRISM, XKeyscore, and Tempora : technology.

In the last months you could almost daily read articles in the newspapers about Edward Snowden and the NSA affair.
PRISM and Tempora were omnipresent topics in the mass media around the world that rocked the boat.

German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger has written to British ministers demanding to know to what extent a British spy agency targeted German citizens in a large-scale data trawling programme that has upset Berlin.
“The accusations show that the German government must do everything it can to thoroughly and quickly clear up every open question about Prism and Tempora,” she said on Wednesday “Three lean lines are not enough,” she added, referring to the answer send the German Interior Minister Hans Peter Friedrich. “Letters to my colleagues have not been answered yet.
Kommentar zu Tempora: Ein Skandal von historischem Ausmaß. Der Begriff "Datenautobahn" für das Internet griff schon immer zu kurz. In Wahrheit ist das Netz ein globaler Kommunikationsraum, in dem private und privateste Informationen über einen Großteil der Bevölkerung aller entwickelten Länder zu finden sind. Das Erpressungspotential jener, die auf ein allsehendes Internet-Auge zugreifen können, ist schier grenzenlos. Genau dieses allsehnde Auge haben der britische Geheimdienst GCHQ und die amerikanische NSA unter dem Namen Temporaoffenbar entwickelt. GCHQ and European spy agencies worked together on mass surveillance. The German, French, Spanish and Swedish intelligence services have all developed methods of mass surveillance of internet and phone traffic over the past five years in close partnership with Britain's GCHQ eavesdropping agency.
The bulk monitoring is carried out through direct taps into fibre optic cables and the development of covert relationships with telecommunications companies. A loose but growing eavesdropping alliance has allowed intelligence agencies from one country to cultivate ties with corporations from another to facilitate the trawling of the web, according to GCHQ documents leaked by the former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden. The files also make clear that GCHQ played a leading role in advising its European counterparts how to work around national laws intended to restrict the surveillance power of intelligence agencies.
