Leaked Docs Reveal List of 30 Countries Hacked On Orders of FBI Informant Sabu
blottsie writes A Federal Bureau of Investigation informant targeted more than two dozen countries in a series of high-profile cyberattacks in 2012. The names of many of those countries have remained secret, under seal by a court order—until now. A cache of leaked IRC chat logs and other documents obtained by the Daily Dot reveals the 30 countries—including U.S. partners, such as the United Kingdom and Australia—tied to cyberattacks carried out under the direction of Hector Xavier Monsegur, better known as Sabu, who served as an FBI informant at the time of the attacks.
Likewise, invading and killing citizen(s) of another country is not attacking that country?
What's your theory of the relationship between a citizen and their country?
You mean to tell me that the US doesn't even trust the other Five Eyes nations' spy agencies to be able to do this?*
*Yes, I know, to get round legal restrictions, it was very normal for the US to spy on the citizens of the other four and to exchange that data for information collected on US citizens by other members of Five Eyes. However, we now know all the agencies DO spy on their own citizens, routinely. So the US can ask GCHQ to wiretap British citizens in Britain, it doesn't need to spy on Britain itself. This behaviour suggests wheels within wheels.
You mean to tell me that the US isn't all caught up in the US-UK "Special Relationship" stuff?**
**Most Americans were unaware there even was one and get horribly confused when the British talk about it.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
So, if I walk outside my door and slap my neighbor, am I attacking my own country?
If you think I voted for Trump because of this post, you're wrong. I voted for Dr. Jill Stein of the Green Party. Again.
