Modern targeted surveillance is likely to involve actively breaking into an adversary’s computer network and installing malicious software designed to take over that network and “exfiltrate” data—that’s NSA talk for stealing it. To put it more plainly, the easiest way for someone to eavesdrop on your communications isn’t to intercept them in transit anymore; it’s to hack your computer.
Al Cannistra's insight:
where to now? intelligence, counter-intelligence, counter-counter intelligence - who need missiles? . . .

Then Director of National Intelligence James Clapper had Schoeder’s successor’s personal cell phone put under surveillance. Angela Merkel’s personal cell phone. An ally . It may just have been face-saving for President Obama, but the White House leaked that Obama was surprised and disturbed that her personal phone had been targeted. This leak tells us that Clapper and the NSA were acting without the president’s knowledge. Yet no one was fired over it. It makes you think maybe the US cyberspies are an authority unto themselves and this elected democracy thing is so eighteenth century.

oh, the Clap would not do that . . . |

South Korea’s online espionage program may be primarily focused on the North, but it’s also targeting the United States—and the U.S. government isn’t making a stink about it.
Al Cannistra's insight:
we are OK with this? maybe we knew, nah, we knew, Russia was hack'n we did not cry until there was a NEED to blame for an election loss . . . |
no clue if this works - but from experience, 6 hours in an ER and a bill for over $10k - worth a try next time....
