12 True Tales of Creepy NSA Cyberstalking
Found on Wired on Friday, 27 September 2013
The NSA has released some details of 12 incidents in which analysts used their access to America’s high-tech surveillance infrastructure to spy on girlfriends, boyfriends, and random people they met in social settings.
One such analyst working on foreign soil started surveillance on nine phone numbers belonging to women over five years, from 1998 to 2003. He “listened to collected phone conversations,” according to a letter from the NSA’s Inspector General to Senator Charles Grassley released today.
So much for the claims of the NSA that the monitoring power was never abused.
