Real Cyber-Spying

Posted by michael on from the a-little-knowledge dept.

The guy was something of a bozo, using free webmail accounts from locations near his home to email the stuff. It's an interesting read about a legitimate (for once) cyber-bust."

    Well, building the largest cyber/electronic comunications spying apparatus on the planet finally payed off for the US. I was beginning to think they would never to use it for something other than helping Boeing trounce Airbus on an airliner-sale. But now they actually cought a real Spy! Too bad that the first great cyberspace master-spy turned out to have all the intelligence of a carpet mite.

  3. what right do you have talking about this michael? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You've got some real balls to come along to slashdot and talk about privacy and setting higher standards for online tech "Journalists"..

    Your the same guy that censored www.censorware.org then makes no mention of it again.. That makes you the biggest hypocrite around here imho. You should be talking about these subjects AT ALL.

    I'm just curious which censorware software company paid you off.. please indulge yourself here and now, I would love to hear this. If your reading this message and dont know what I'm talking about then you should check out this link Here. Gives the low down on Michael Sims takedown of a good project that all slashdot users should be involved in (because most are disgusted with censorware to begin with).. No thanks to you Michael, You didn't help at all, in fact you've hurt the project. Thanks again. Jerk.

    three minutes and this will be modded down by the editors , not the users.. because some moderators would like to moderate it up but fear a good bitch slap.pl from the tryannical slashdot crew. Thanks again Michael.

    Can't get to story (slashdotted?) but I assume he was American, not Libyan?
