"Lawful Spying" Price Lists Leaked

Posted by Soulskill on from the reading-your-terrible-manga-poetry-on-the-cheap dept.

ogaraf writes "Wired has a story about how the site Cryptome.org leaked the price lists for 'lawful spying' activities of Yahoo and other companies, and subsequently received a DMCA takedown notice from Yahoo. The documents, however, are still posted online, and in them you can learn, for instance, that IP logs last for one year, but the original IPs used to create accounts have been kept since 1999. The contents of your Yahoo account are bought for $30 to $40 by law enforcement agencies."

    I thought reply #30345008 was funnier than your original reply but it got modded "+5: Informative". Where's the logic that?

    True, but in my defense I was more focused on getting a +5 Funny .

    And now you have a +5 Informative post.

    Yeah, I love Slashdot moderation.
