NSA 5 Eyes Sharing » CounterPunch: Tells the Facts, Names the Names - Iceweasel. Well, the guy who said this was full of crap: David Skillicorn, a professor in the School of Computing at Queen’s University, says this is one piece of the data-sharing relationship “that has always been carefully constructed.”
“The Americans will not use Canadians to collect data on U.S. persons, nor will any of the other Five Eyes countries,” Skillicorn says. “In fact, in practice, it’s as if the five countries’ citizens were one large, collective group, and their mutual communications are not intercepted by any in the Five Eyes community.” U.S. and U.K. Struck Secret Deal Allowing NSA to “Unmask” Britons’ Personal Data. The phone, internet and email records of U.K. citizens not suspected of any wrongdoing have been analyzed and stored by America's National Security Agency under a secret deal that was approved by British intelligence officials, according to documents from the whistleblower Edward Snowden.
In the first explicit confirmation that U.K. citizens have been caught up in U.S. mass surveillance programs, an NSA memo describes how in 2007 an agreement was reached that allowed the agency to "unmask" and hold on to personal data about Britons that had previously been off limits. The memo, published in a joint investigation by the Guardian and Britain's Channel 4 News, says the material is being put in databases where it can be made available to other members of the U.S. intelligence and military community. Britain and the U.S. are the main two partners in the 'Five-Eyes' intelligence-sharing alliance, which also includes Australia, New Zealand and Canada.

National Security Agency's massive and controversial surveillance apparatus. Here's How Ronald Reagan Played A Role In The NSA's Hack Of Google, Yahoo. SAN JOSE, Calif.
(AP) — Back when Yahoo was something hollered at a rodeo and no one could conceive of Googling anything, President Ronald Reagan signed an executive order that extended the power of U.S. intelligence agencies overseas, allowing broader surveillance of non-U.S. suspects. At the time, no one imagined he was granting authority to spy on what became known as Silicon Valley. But recent reports that the National Security Agency secretly broke into communications on Yahoo and Google overseas have technology companies, privacy advocates and even national security proponents calling for a re-examination of Reagan's order and other intelligence laws. Experts suggest a legislative update is long overdue to clear up what Electronic Frontier Foundation legal director Cindy Cohn calls "lots of big gray areas.

National Security Agency. The National Security Agency (NSA) is a U.S. intelligence agency responsible for providing the United States government with encrypted communications (information assurance) and the reading of encrypted communications (signals intelligence) of other nations. The NSA also creates and maintains secure computer network operations for the U.S. Government and prepares for network warfare.[8] Originating as a unit to decipher code communications in World War II, it was officially formed as the NSA by President Truman in 1952.
Since then, it has become one of the largest of U.S. intelligence organizations in terms of personnel and budget,[6][9] operating under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense and reporting to the Director of National Intelligence. The NSA has been a matter of political controversy on several occasions in its short history. During the Watergate affair, as a result of A Congressional Inquiry led by Sen.

The internet backbone — the infrastructure of networks upon which internet traffic travels — went from being a passive infrastructure for communication to an active weapon for attacks. According to revelations about the QUANTUM program, the NSA can “shoot” (their words) an exploit at any target it desires as his or her traffic passes across the backbone. It appears that the NSA and GCHQ were the first to turn the internet backbone into a weapon; absent Snowdens of their own, other countries may do the same and then say, “It wasn’t us. And even if it was, you started it.” If the NSA can hack Petrobras, the Russians can justify attacking Exxon/Mobil.
If GCHQ can hack Belgacom to enable covert wiretaps, France can do the same to AT&T. Which means the rest of us — and especially any company or individual whose operations are economically or politically significant — are now targets. Here’s how it works. Information Sharing.

The US National Security Agency (NSA) has been spying on international banking and credit card transactions, according to a new report based on information leaked by Edward Snowden, as German Der Spiegel revealed. The report indicates that the agency targeted VISA customers and global financial service SWIFT and created its own money flows database.
More specific, the monitoring activities were carried out by a branch called "Follow the Money" (FTM). Once the information on transactions was obtained, it was redirected to the NSA's own financial database, called "Tracfin". According to the report, in 2011 the database contained 180 million records, with 84% of those being credit card transactions details. More specific, the documents show that the NSA was spying on large credit card companies’ customers.
