The Director and head of the US Secretive
intelligence NSA James clapper still has got something for Snowden because recently
as the interview he said that the Former contractor Edward J. Snowden has found
those 1.5 million secretive documents that they haven’t found ever. World has
been threatened more than Govt. Frauds then the any other hacker or group. The
Edward Snowden says that he took no file with him to Russia. Before takeoff to Russia
he gave up all documents to the journalist and also gives away all files. But
in June 12, 2013 he told two journalists that he still has got the access to
the many documents to leak. The snowmen also said that the best way to make
sure that the Russian don’t take their hand on this document is to destroy the material
that he previously holding before going to the Russia. Snowden arrived to
Moscow with a Revoked passport and forged travel document.
“American
intelligence officials have expressed grave concern that the files might have
fallen into the hands of foreign intelligence services, but Mr. Snowden said he
believed that the N.S.A. knew he had not cooperated with the Russians or the
Chinese. He said he was publicly revealing that he no longer had any agency
documents to explain why he was confident that Russia had not gained access to
them.” Read More at New York Times.
So now if we look over the history of the NSA controversy,
last year Edward Snowden started a revolution by leaking those secretive documents
stolen from NSA accusing it to monitoring the cell phone, Internet activity and
other online interceptions and also accused companies like Apple, AT&T, Orange,
Google, T-Mobile and others to have cooperated with the NSA to let them use the
Network.
The Internet technology is full of vulnerabilities,
which have been lately found and some of them still waiting to be found and the
cyber criminal know this very well and they took the advantage of it to steal
or harm anybody. Nowadays, we live in the world where people have much more
fear then nation’s Govt. but the cyber criminal groups such as Hackeractivist.
Their technical capabilities are far more advanced then the NSA, or FBI or any
other secret agency and they can develop a complex system just to steal the
money or perform any online fraud and fraud prevention techniques are kid play
for them and these groups are costing about $400 Billion every year from whole
world. The Report from unnamed secret agency says that there are 20, 30 online
hacker group who has national-State technical ability to hack any country.
Nations have acquiring their training to train their officials to know about
the modern techniques to detect, prevent and track anyone who trying to enter
into the system.
zdnet says “At the launch of the McAfee research Paul Gillen, head of operations at
the European Cybercrime Centre, warned how sophisticated these organised groups
have become. For example, an organised crime group might spread malware which
steals bank account details from an infected PC. That same malicious software
would also use affected machines to carry out a denial of service attack
against the bank in order to distract the bank's security team while the gang
cleans out bank accounts using the stolen account credentials.”
As previously a group hacked the corporate
office network of Ebay and a 10 Million Credit card details have been stolenfrom Target Gateways so Online crime groups have several working hackers and
individuals hacker working in those groups to organize these gangs and also
state funded hackers and divisions which performing several hacks and crime in
time to time manner.
World’s Well Know CEO of Facebook Mark
Zuckerberg is taking a new strategy toward its mobile phone Facebook app.
Company announces that they will remove the chat from FB App in iOs and Android
but User have to download the messenger to chat from your mobile. Right now the
App is included fully featured messaging tab but from now on there will not be
any tab on the app anymore. If any people have chat from friends it would have
a hotlink which will open the messenger but if you want the message into app
you just didn’t download the messenger, which will not be option any more. The
European users have got notification about the change and they have few weeks
before the actual change will be applied.So all FB Users will have to accept this protocol and makes so many users angry. The only way to be safe from this change by having to low end Android phones.
Facebook said“the other thing that we’re doing with Messenger is making it so once
you have the standalone Messenger app, we are actually taking messaging out of
the main Facebook app. And the reason why we’re doing that is we found that
having it as a second-class thing inside the Facebook app makes it so there’s
more friction to replying to messages, so we would rather have peopled be using
a more focused experience for that.”
Company wanted to loose the chatting
in main app because it makes the app is more vulnerable to hack or Snooping likeNSA did so many times. And FB thinks that the chatting makes its app a little
slow and sub optimal overall.
As we know that NSA has a lot going
on, protest from people and hundreds of accusations of spying, hacking,
eavesdropping, and sneaking into people’s lives and threatened them with security.
So to end these issues president Obama has proposed an end with a solution to
put the mass surveillance to an end. Yes President has called an end to NSA’s
bulk data collection of phone records of American people. A post has been
revealed from White house in which he figured the plan, which will give phone
companies to hold the records of their customers, if congress passes it. If any
data will be required by NSA or any other intelligence they would have to take
a court order from Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court to get the required
data from any telecommunication company.
Cnet posted the details“Obama's proposal would end the Patriot
Act's Section 215 bulk telephony metadata program. Details of that program and
other NSA surveillance activities came to light after former NSA contractor
Edward Snowden leaked a series of confidential documents. The resulting outcry
among American citizens, privacy advocates, and many politicians in both
parties forced Obama to direct the intelligence community and the Attorney
General to come up with other options.The companies would be compelled by court
order to provide technical assistance to ensure that the records can be queried
and that results are transmitted to the government in a usable format and in a
timely manner.
Now all left up to the Congress, because
the law will only come into picture when Congress will passes it in parliament.
This proposition proposed back in January now NSA wants to continue the program
with reauthorization for 90 days. Recently NSA asked so many Internet companies
to remove that data and they have shown entire requests to public.
