With everything going on in the news about this I found this to be a humorous approach to the whole thing. This article basically describes the NSA program on a fundamental level and how an everyday Joe (if they had enough data storage that is) could create their own spy program using these tactics.
A spy kit to go. Virtually everything you need to set up shop to gather information and spy on something ( corporate or private). All the hacking tools are nearly " off the shelf" and are most likely used for spying. Great post and article.
This article gave me a headache thinking about all the data collection. I am not surprised by this at all Google and Facebook are the biggest privacy violators out there. At what point do people drop off the grid to hide from this potential? The reality is that most people have no idea that this potential is out there except for the ones that want to exploit it.
