Just found out that Obama had my "wires tapped" in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is Mc Carthyism. Is it legal for a sitting President to be "wire tapping" a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW. I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election. How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy. Up Next. SEE ALL. BACK TO SLIDE.

... was able to stave off the deeper oil-related economic crises that have afflicted other countries in the region — in part by taking on large amounts of debt that forestalled cuts to popular social programs and layoffs of public-sector workers. Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa addresses the nation from Carondelet Palace in Quito, June 15, 2015. Reuters/Javier Amores.

Latest Wikileaks Dump Claims That The Cia Successfully Hacked Encryption On Signal, Whatsapp, And Telegram For Android

... strong encryption, the hackers have opted to go around the unprotected sides. If these reports are proven to be accurate, it would undermine the public trust in apps that have become synonymous with privacy and security. Open Whisper System’s Signal app, whose technology has been transplanted into Whatsapp to provide end-to-end encryption, was noted as one of the apps that were affected. Also mentioned was the widely popular Telegram. What is extremely frustrating here is the fact that the failure here is not on the individual app makers but on Google’s own design of Android. Leading the changes to plug this hole will likely be much more difficult than if the problem was simply a flaw with a single app maker. Even worse, is the concern that after all the effort to get users onto end-to-end encrypted apps, this news could undermine it all. What folks need to remember is that encryption for your browsing and communications is not meant to protect you against well-resourced groups like the CIA, but more so against criminals or other bad actors that want to steal your info.

Wiki Leaks says the files came from the CIA's internal Confluence system — a platform for team collaboration. They include instructions on how to use programs, and guides describing how to reduce the risk of CIA involvement being detected in a program. Some pages have comments from users whose names have been redacted, but appear to be software developers.
