If the NSA can partner with ISPs to scan internet traffic for phishing, viruses, etc ...the obvious next step is Lulzsec mentions or member mentions...in IRC, email, etc..
There is no such thing as hiding when attacking the internet, sooner or later you become the bitch
- BasDirks 15y agowhat makes you think Lulzsec mention the name "Lulzsec" a lot more often than the average HN reader?
- getsat 15y agoIt's good for the NSA that there's no way to securely communicate over an insecure medium. It's also convenient that all Internet infrastructure exists inside the USA.
- __rkaup__ 15y agoYou are being ironic. It actually is possible to communicate securely over an insecure medium, and not all the internet's infrastructure is in the USA. Am I right?
- getsat 15y agoYour sarcasm detector is working normally. :) Not sure why your irony detector is going off, though.
- kenjackson 15y agoGiven the NSA's charter, I wouldn't be surprised if most of their data interception mechanism are focused on non-US internet traffic.
- glassx 15y agoCall me crazy, but I'd rather have LulzSec stealing passwords on crappy secured services than a NSA agent scanning my whole life. That would be the single worst outcome.
- misuse-permit 15y agoReally? Because the NSA could be doing it right now and you wouldn't have a clue. If someone steals your password though, chances are you'll notice.
- burgerbrain 15y agoWhat would you say if you found out a local dentist was molesting his patients while they were under on nitrous? He could be doing it right now, and you wouldn't have a clue.
- glassx 15y agoExactly. LulzSec on the other hand would probably be the ones breaking into the dentists office and drawing a penis on the patients face with black marker, just to wait for them to wake up and laugh at them. :)
