The same government that had completely penetrated Google's network for years without them realising?
- sangnoir 13y agoI'm pretty sure "the government" in GP's context referred to the UK government, not the US.
- anon1385 13y agoIt was the UK Government (GCHQ) that was breaking into Google's networks.
- dhoulb 13y agoGCHQ has done some appalling stuff, but the Google network penetration was done by the NSA.
- Shooti 13y agoYou're both right, its a collaboration between the two: >For the MUSCULAR project, the GCHQ directs all intake into a “buffer” that can hold three to five days of traffic before recycling storage space. From the buffer, custom-built NSA tools unpack and decode the special data formats that the two companies use inside their clouds. Then the data are sent through a series of filters to “select” information the NSA wants and “defeat” what it does not. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-infiltrates-links-to-yahoo-google-data-centers-worldwide-snowden-documents-say/2013/10/30/e51d661e-4166-11e3-8b74-d89d714ca4dd_story.html http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-in...
