Aunque no pensaba actualizar hasta mañana al menos, y no acostumbro a poner nada en inglés, no me he podido resistir a esto, que describe el impresionante y complejo sistema de escuchas telefónicas montado por el FBI, basado en un informe de cerca de mil hojas hecho público gracias a la Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) y destinado a la Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Les recomiendo que vayan al artículo de Wired, mucho más completo y realmente interesante:
The surveillance system, called DCSNet, for Digital Collection System Network, connects FBI wiretapping rooms to switches controlled by traditional land-line operators, internet-telephony providers and cellular companies. It is far more intricately woven into the nation’s telecom infrastructure than observers suspected.
It’s a “comprehensive wiretap system that intercepts wire-line phones, cellular phones, SMS and push-to-talk systems,” says Steven Bellovin, a Columbia University computer science professor and longtime surveillance expert.
DCSNet is a suite of software that collects, sifts and stores phone numbers, phone calls and text messages. The system directly connects FBI wiretapping outposts around the country to a far-reaching private communications network.
