quote:Edward Snowden: the whistleblower answers the essential questions on the biggest leak in NSA history
Source for the Guardian's NSA files on why he carried out the biggest intelligence leak in a generation – and what comes next
Edward Snowden was interviewed over several days in Hong Kong by Glenn Greenwald and Ewen MacAskill.
Q: Why did you decide to become a whistleblower?
A: "The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife's phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards.
"I don't want to live in a society that does these sort of things … I do not want to live in a world where everything I do and say is recorded. That is not something I am willing to support or live under."
Q: But isn't there a need for surveillance to try to reduce the chances of terrorist attacks such as Boston?
A: "We have to decide why terrorism is a new threat. There has always been terrorism. Boston was a criminal act. It was not about surveillance but good, old-fashioned police work. The police are very good at what they do."
Q: Do you see yourself as another Bradley Manning?
A: "Manning was a classic whistleblower. He was inspired by the public good."
Q: Do you think what you have done is a crime?
A: "We have seen enough criminality on the part of government. It is hypocritical to make this allegation against me. They have narrowed the public sphere of influence."
Q: What do you think is going to happen to you?
A: "Nothing good."
Q: Why Hong Kong?
A: "I think it is really tragic that an American has to move to a place that has a reputation for less freedom. Still, Hong Kong has a reputation for freedom in spite of the People's Republic of China. It has a strong tradition of free speech."
Q: What do the leaked documents reveal?
A: "That the NSA routinely lies in response to congressional inquiries about the scope of surveillance in America. I believe that when [senator Ron] Wyden and [senator Mark] Udall asked about the scale of this, they [the NSA] said it did not have the tools to provide an answer. We do have the tools and I have maps showing where people have been scrutinised most. We collect more digital communications from America than we do from the Russians."
nsa whistleblower Snowden is a 29-year-old former technical assistant for the CIA
Q: What about the Obama administration's protests about hacking by China?
A: "We hack everyone everywhere. We like to make a distinction between us and the others. But we are in almost every country in the world. We are not at war with these countries."
Q: Is it possible to put security in place to protect against state surveillance?
A: "You are not even aware of what is possible. The extent of their capabilities is horrifying. We can plant bugs in machines. Once you go on the network, I can identify your machine. You will never be safe whatever protections you put in place."
Q: Does your family know you are planning this?
A: "No. My family does not know what is happening … My primary fear is that they will come after my family, my friends, my partner. Anyone I have a relationship with …
I will have to live with that for the rest of my life. I am not going to be able to communicate with them. They [the authorities] will act aggressively against anyone who has known me. That keeps me up at night."
Q: When did you decide to leak the documents?
A: "You see things that may be disturbing. When you see everything you realise that some of these things are abusive. The awareness of wrong-doing builds up. There was not one morning when I woke up [and decided this is it]. It was a natural process.
"A lot of people in 2008 voted for Obama. I did not vote for him. I voted for a third party. But I believed in Obama's promises. I was going to disclose it [but waited because of his election]. He continued with the policies of his predecessor."
Q: What is your reaction to Obama denouncing the leaks on Friday while welcoming a debate on the balance between security and openness?
A: "My immediate reaction was he was having difficulty in defending it himself. He was trying to defend the unjustifiable and he knew it."
Q: What about the response in general to the disclosures?
A: "I have been surprised and pleased to see the public has reacted so strongly in defence of these rights that are being suppressed in the name of security. It is not like Occupy Wall Street but there is a grassroots movement to take to the streets on July 4 in defence of the Fourth Amendment called Restore The Fourth Amendment and it grew out of Reddit. The response over the internet has been huge and supportive."
Q: Washington-based foreign affairs analyst Steve Clemons said he overheard at the capital's Dulles airport four men discussing an intelligence conference they had just attended. Speaking about the leaks, one of them said, according to Clemons, that both the reporter and leaker should be "disappeared". How do you feel about that?
A: "Someone responding to the story said 'real spies do not speak like that'. Well, I am a spy and that is how they talk. Whenever we had a debate in the office on how to handle crimes, they do not defend due process – they defend decisive action. They say it is better to kick someone out of a plane than let these people have a day in court. It is an authoritarian mindset in general."
Q: Do you have a plan in place?
A: "The only thing I can do is sit here and hope the Hong Kong government does not deport me … My predisposition is to seek asylum in a country with shared values. The nation that most encompasses this is Iceland. They stood up for people over internet freedom. I have no idea what my future is going to be.
"They could put out an Interpol note. But I don't think I have committed a crime outside the domain of the US. I think it will be clearly shown to be political in nature."
Q: Do you think you are probably going to end up in prison?
A: "I could not do this without accepting the risk of prison. You can't come up against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and not accept the risk. If they want to get you, over time they will."
Q: How to you feel now, almost a week after the first leak?
A: "I think the sense of outrage that has been expressed is justified. It has given me hope that, no matter what happens to me, the outcome will be positive for America. I do not expect to see home again, though that is what I want."
The view from nowhere.

Hans Spekman (PvdA): 'Nivelleren is een feest!' [38 11 9 zetels]
quote:Welcome to the end of secrecy | Jeff Jarvis | Comment is free | theguardian.com
The real lesson of the Snowden leaks is not the threat to privacy. It is the NSA's losing battle against the new agents of openness
It has been said that privacy is dead. Not so. It's secrecy that is dying. Openness will kill it.
American and British spies undermined the secrecy and security of everyone using the internet with their efforts to foil encryption. Then, Edward Snowden foiled them by revealing what is perhaps – though we may never know – their greatest secret.
When I worried on Twitter that we could not trust encryption now, technologist Lauren Weinstein responded with assurances that it would be difficult to hide "backdoors" in commonly used PGP encryption – because it is open-source.
Openness is the more powerful weapon. Openness is the principle that guides, for example, Guardian journalism. Openness is all that can restore trust in government and technology companies. And openness – in standards, governance, and ethics – must be the basis of technologists' efforts to take back the the net.
Secrecy is under dire threat but don't confuse that with privacy. "All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret," Gabriel García Márquez tells his biographer. "Secrecy is what is known, but not to everyone. Privacy is what allows us to keep what we know to ourselves," Jill Lepore explains in the New Yorker. "Privacy is consensual where secrecy is not," write Carol Warren and Barbara Laslett in the Journal of Social Issues.
Think of it this way: privacy is what we keep to ourselves; secrecy is what is kept from us. Privacy is a right claimed by citizens. Secrecy is a privilege claimed by government.
It's often said that the internet is a threat to privacy, but on the whole, I argue it is not much more of a threat than a gossipy friend or a nosy neighbor, a slip of the tongue or of the email "send" button. Privacy is certainly put at risk when we can no longer trust that our communication, even encrypted, are safe from government's spying eyes. But privacy has many protectors.
And we all have one sure vault for privacy: our own thoughts. Even if the government were capable of mind-reading, ProPublica argues in an essay explaining its reason to join the Snowden story, the fact of it "would have to be known".
The agglomeration of data that makes us fear for our privacy is also what makes it possible for one doubting soul – one Manning or Snowden – to learn secrets. The speed of data that makes us fret over the the devaluation of facts is also what makes it possible for journalists' facts to spread before government can stop them. The essence of the Snowden story, then, isn't government's threat to privacy, so much as it is government's loss of secrecy.
Oh, it will take a great deal for government to learn that lesson. Its first response is to try to match a loss of secrecy with greater secrecy, with a war on the agents of openness: whistleblowers and journalists and news organizations. President Obama had the opportunity to meet Snowden's revelations – redacted responsibly by the Guardian – with embarrassment, apology, and a vow to make good on his promise of transparency. He failed.
But the agents of openness will continue to wage their war on secrecy.
In a powerful charge to fellow engineers, security expert Bruce Schneier urged them to fix the net that "some of us have helped to subvert." Individuals must make a moral choice, whether they will side with secrecy or openness.
So must their companies. Google and Microsoft are suing government to be released from their secret restrictions – but there is still more they can say. I would like Google to explain what British agents could mean when they talk of "new access opportunities being developed" at the company. Google's response – "we have no evidence of any such thing ever occurring" – would be more reassuring if it were more specific.
This latest story demonstrates that the Guardian, now in partnership with the New York Times and ProPublica, as well as publications in Germany and Brazil that have pursued their own surveillance stories, will continue to report openly in spite of government acts of intimidation.
I am disappointed that more news organizations, especially in London, are not helping support the work of openness by adding reporting of their own and editorializing against government overreach. I am also saddened that my American colleagues in news industry organizations, as well as journalism education groups, are not protesting loudly.
But even without them, what this story teaches is that it takes only one technologist, one reporter, one news organization to defeat secrecy. At length, openness will out.

quote:The Guardian: NSA deelt persoonsgegevens VS met Israël
De Amerikaanse veiligheidsdienst NSA deelt geregeld persoonsgegevens met Israël zonder dat privégevoelige informatie wordt verwijderd. Dat blijkt uit geheime documenten die de Britse krant The Guardian openbaart die werden doorgespeeld door klokkenluider Edward Snowden.
De documenten bevatten een overeenkomst tussen de NSA en de Israëlische inlichtingendienst die is opgesteld in 2009 en bestaat uit vijf pagina's. Hieruit blijkt volgens The Guardian dat er zeer waarschijnlijk op regelmatige basis gegevens worden overgedragen aan Israël die mogelijk telefoongesprekken en e-mails bevatten van Amerikaanse burgers. De overeenkomst stelt geen grenzen aan het gebruik van deze data door Israël, aldus de Britse krant.
De onthulling dat de NSA een dergelijke overeenkomst met Israël sloot toont aan dat de Amerikaanse regering tegen een toezegging ingaat, namelijk dat de privacy van Amerikaanse burgers ten alle tijden wordt gewaarborgd middels strikte regels. Gegevens die met andere landen gedeeld worden moet volgens deze toezegging 'geminimaliseerd' worden, iets wat niet gebeurd is, zo blijkt uit de overeenkomst met Israël. De persoonsgegevens zijn niet gefilterd op privacygevoelige informatie, iets wat de Amerikaanse regering wel belooft te doen.

NSA shares raw intelligence including Americans' data with Israel
Israel, de 51ste staat van USA.
Edit: Dubbel, ik zie net dat Papierversnipperaar het gepost heeft.
De rest valt hier in de bron te lezen.quote:The National Security Agency routinely shares raw intelligence data with Israel without first sifting it to remove information about US citizens, a top-secret document provided to the Guardian by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveals.
Details of the intelligence-sharing agreement are laid out in a memorandum of understanding between the NSA and its Israeli counterpart that shows the US government handed over intercepted communications likely to contain phone calls and emails of American citizens. The agreement places no legally binding limits on the use of the data by the Israelis.
The disclosure that the NSA agreed to provide raw intelligence data to a foreign country contrasts with assurances from the Obama administration that there are rigorous safeguards to protect the privacy of US citizens caught in the dragnet. The intelligence community calls this process "minimization", but the memorandum makes clear that the information shared with the Israelis would be in its pre-minimized state.
The deal was reached in principle in March 2009, according to the undated memorandum, which lays out the ground rules for the intelligence sharing.
The five-page memorandum, termed an agreement between the US and Israeli intelligence agencies "pertaining to the protection of US persons", repeatedly stresses the constitutional rights of Americans to privacy and the need for Israeli intelligence staff to respect these rights.
But this is undermined by the disclosure that Israel is allowed to receive "raw Sigint" – signal intelligence. The memorandum says: "Raw Sigint includes, but is not limited to, unevaluated and unminimized transcripts, gists, facsimiles, telex, voice and Digital Network Intelligence metadata and content."
According to the agreement, the intelligence being shared would not be filtered in advance by NSA analysts to remove US communications. "NSA routinely sends ISNU [the Israeli Sigint National Unit] minimized and unminimized raw collection", it says.
Although the memorandum is explicit in saying the material had to be handled in accordance with US law, and that the Israelis agreed not to deliberately target Americans identified in the data, these rules are not backed up by legal obligations.
"This agreement is not intended to create any legally enforceable rights and shall not be construed to be either an international agreement or a legally binding instrument according to international law," the document says.
In a statement to the Guardian, an NSA spokesperson did not deny that personal data about Americans was included in raw intelligence data shared with the Israelis. But the agency insisted that the shared intelligence complied with all rules governing privacy.
"Any US person information that is acquired as a result of NSA's surveillance activities is handled under procedures that are designed to protect privacy rights," the spokesperson said.
The NSA declined to answer specific questions about the agreement, including whether permission had been sought from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (Fisa) court for handing over such material.
The memorandum of understanding, which the Guardian is publishing in full, allows Israel to retain "any files containing the identities of US persons" for up to a year. The agreement requests only that the Israelis should consult the NSA's special liaison adviser when such data is found.
Notably, a much stricter rule was set for US government communications found in the raw intelligence. The Israelis were required to "destroy upon recognition" any communication "that is either to or from an official of the US government". Such communications included those of "officials of the executive branch (including the White House, cabinet departments, and independent agencies), the US House of Representatives and Senate (member and staff) and the US federal court system (including, but not limited to, the supreme court)".
It is not clear whether any communications involving members of US Congress or the federal courts have been included in the raw data provided by the NSA, nor is it clear how or why the NSA would be in possession of such communications. In 2009, however, the New York Times reported on "the agency's attempt to wiretap a member of Congress, without court approval, on an overseas trip".
The NSA is required by law to target only non-US persons without an individual warrant, but it can collect the content and metadata of Americans' emails and calls without a warrant when such communication is with a foreign target. US persons are defined in surveillance legislation as US citizens, permanent residents and anyone located on US soil at the time of the interception, unless it has been positively established that they are not a citizen or permanent resident.

quote:'NSA gaat ook internationaal betalingsverkeer na'
De Amerikaanse inlichtingendienst NSA (National Security Agency) gaat ook internationaal betalingsverkeer na. Het Duitse weekblad Der Spiegel melde dit weekeinde op zijn website dat de NSA gegevens verzamelt over betalingen, vooral die met creditcards. De dienst heeft speciale afdeling die betalingen registreert, de afdeling 'Follow the money' (Volg het geld).
Der Spiegel heeft de informatie naar eigen zeggen van de klokkenluider Edward Snowden gekregen. Snowden werkte enige tijd voor de NSA en deed daar tot groot ongenoegen van de Amerikaanse autoriteiten een boekje over open. Hij is naar Rusland gevlucht.
De betalingsgegevens worden opgeslagen in de 'Tracfin' van de afdeling. Daar zouden bijvoorbeeld in 2011 180 miljoen gegevens zijn gestald. Bij 84 procent daarvan ging het om betalingen met creditcards.
De dienst bekijkt of er transacties plaatsvinden die extra aandacht verdienen. De 'data-melkers' van de afdeling Follow the Money zouden zich vooral richten op creditcardbetalingen in Europa, het Midden-Oosten en Afrika. Zo is of was de organisatie Swift een belangrijk doelwit van Follow the Money.
Swift, de Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication, is een in Brussel gevestigde internationale organisatie waar duizenden financiële instellingen bij zijn aangesloten ten behoeve van het internationale betalingsverkeer.

quote:Belgacom dient klacht in na mogelijke spionage door NSA
Alles wijst erop dat de Amerikaanse inlichtingendienst NSA al zeker sinds 2011 Belgacom hackt. Dat blijkt uit veiligheidsonderzoek dat in opdracht van de provider door een Nederlands bedrijf is verricht. Dat heeft het bedrijf vandaag bekendgemaakt.
Belgacom bevestigt in de mededeling slachtoffer te zijn geweest van een inbraak en een klacht te hebben ingediend. Het bedrijf verleent alle medewerking aan het onderzoek dat wordt gevoerd door het Openbaar Ministerie.
Na de recente onthullingen van klokkenluider Edward Snowden over de spionageactiviteiten van de Verenigde Staten liet Belgacom een uitgebreid onderzoek uitvoeren door een Nederlandse bedrijf, schrijft de Belgische krant De Standaard. Dat bedrijf ontdekte zeer geavanceerde malware.
Dochterbedrijf Belgacom
Volgens de kranten, die zich baseren op niet nader genoemde bronnen, wees het onderzoek uit dat de hackers vooral geïnteresseerd waren in Bics, het dochterbedrijf van Belgacom dat wereldwijd telefoonverkeer regelt. Vooral conversaties in landen als Jemen, Syrië en andere, door de Amerikanen als 'schurkenstaten' beschouwde landen, zouden worden gemonitord.
De Standaard schrijft dat er in kringen van veiligheidsdiensten weinig twijfel over bestaat dat de NSA of een dienst die ermee samenwerkt achter de spionage zit, maar helemaal zeker is dat nog niet. Door de aard van de informatie waarin de hackers geïnteresseerd waren, lijkt het wel zeer waarschijnlijk.
De Belgische overheid is hoofdaandeelhouder van het telecombedrijf en de zaak ligt daarom ook uiterst gevoelig. Premier Elio Di Rupo zou vandaag nog uitleg geven over de zaak.

Op quote:U.S. Government asked Linus Torvalds to insert Backdoor Into Linux - The Hacker News
At the Linuxcon conference in New Orleans today, Linus Torvalds and the other top Linux developers, talked to the Linux faithful about Linux, Microsoft, and other issues.
During a question-and-answer session at the LinuxCon, Linux Torvalds admitted to questions from the audience that the U.S. Government approached him to put a backdoor into his open-source operating system. Torvalds responded "no" while shaking his head "yes," as the audience broke into spontaneous laughter.
Then someone asked if Linus would be interested in becoming Microsoft's CEO, which was answered with a big smile and because he is fully satisfied with the development of Linux and his life.
(at 24 Minutes and 15 Seconds)
He noted that when he started Linux 22 years ago, the hardware was very different than it is today. He expects that 20 years from now the hardware will change even more.
"Linux usage keeps changing. Linux today is very different from even ten years ago,” Torvalds added. “I hope it will continue to meet new use cases."
During the session, Torvalds also explained why he became a developer in the first place. He said that when he started, he didn't have money to run Unix on his own machine. He also noted that his friends were playing games on their computers that he couldn't afford, so he had to learn to program. "Necessity made me try to do something," Torvalds said.
