Wochenwebschau #111 vom 1. Oktober 2015 – Geheimdienst-Special mit: Intelexit, Snowden auf Twitter & E-Cards von der NSA
#Aussteigerprogramm Intelexit
Abhörskandale, Drohnenkrieg und Social Network-Überwachung – bei BND, NSA und GCHQ zählen Daten und Fakten. Als Spion eines Geheimdienstes kann man schon mal in moralische Konflikte geraten. Die Kampagne Intelexit will Angehörigen von Intelligence Communitys jetzt beim Ausstieg helfen. Wir sprechen mit der Wiener Aktivistin Lizvlx.
#NSA-Grußkarten
Die NSA versprüht ihren Charme. Der Geheimdienst will nämlich Sympathiepunkte sammeln und brachte passend zum Love Note Day Liebesbekundungen als E-Cards auf den Markt. Es geht um Netzwerksicherheit, Cyberattacken und… süße Dalmatiner. So richtig oldschool, diese digitalen Grußkarten.
#AfghanistanNeedsYou
Immer mehr junge, gute ausgebildete Menschen flüchten vor der Taliban aus Afghanistan. Sie hoffen auf eine bessere Zukunft in Europa. Eine Kampagne gegen die Flucht auf Afghanistan fordert jetzt auf Facebook und Twitter: Bleibt hier denn #AfghanistanNeedsYou! Wer soll das Land (wieder)aufbauen, wenn niemand mehr da ist? Genau darum geht’s bei dieser Hashtag-Aktion.
#15SecondShakespeare
Drama Baby! Auf Twitter verleihen britische Schauspieler derzeit den Popsongs von heute ein neues Gewand. In klassischer Shakespeare-Manier rezitieren sie in ihren 15-sekündingen Clips Songs wie Gangnam Style, Single Ladies oder Anaconda – voller Inbrunst und Ernst. Unter #15SecondShakespeare werden die Werke gesammelt. Außerdem rufen die meisten Beteiligten zum Spenden für das Rote Kreuz auf.
Und diese Woche im Filter:

Citizenfour Official Trailer #1 (2014)
CITIZENFOUR is the never before seen, utterly riveting first-person look at how director Laura Poitras and journalist Glenn Greenwald first met with whistleblower Edward Snowden in Hong Kong where he gave them documents showing widespread abuses of power by the National Security Administration. It is an unprecedented fly-on-the-wall account of one of the most groundbreaking moments in recent history. In January 2013, Poitras (recipient of the 2012 MacArthur Genius Fellowship and co-recipient of the 2014 Pulitzer Prize for Public Service) was several years into making a film about surveillance in the post-9/11 era when she started receiving encrypted e-mails from someone identifying himself as "citizen four," who was ready to blow the whistle on the massive covert surveillance programs run by the NSA and other intelligence agencies. In June 2013, she and Greenwald flew to Hong Kong for the first of many meetings with the man who turned out to be Snowden. She brought her camera with her. The film that resulted from this series of tense encounters is absolutely sui generis in the history of cinema: a 100% real-life thriller unfolding minute by minute before our eyes.
HOW COVERT AGENTS INFILTRATE THE INTERNET TO MANIPULATE, DECEIVE, AND DESTROY REPUTATIONS
BY GLENN GREENWALD @ggreenwald One of the many pressing stories that remains to be told from the Snowden archive is how western intelligence agencies are attempting to manipulate and control online discourse with extreme tactics of deception and reputation-destruction. It’s time to tell a chunk of that story, complete with the relevant documents.
Over the last several weeks, I worked with NBC News to publish a series of articles about “dirty trick” tactics used by GCHQ’s previously secret unit, JTRIG (Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group). These were based on four classified GCHQ documents presented to the NSA and the other three partners in the English-speaking “Five Eyes” alliance. Today, we at the Intercept are publishing another new JTRIG document, in full, entitled “The Art of Deception: Training for Online Covert Operations.”
The UK spy agency's dark arts were revealed in documents first published by The Intercept, and each piece of software is described in a wiki document written up by GCHQ's Joint Threat Research Intelligence Group (JTRIG). The document, which reads like a software inventory, calls the tools part of the agency's "weaponised capability."
Some of the most interesting capabilities of the tools on the list include the ability to seed the web with false information — such as tweaking the results of online polls — inflating pageview counts, censoring video content deemed "extremist" and the use of psychological manipulation on targets — something similar to a research project conducted with Facebook's approval, which resulted in heavy criticism and outrage levied at the social media site.
A number of interesting tools and their short descriptions are below:
ASTRAL PROJECTION: Remote GSM secure covert Internet proxy using TOR hidden service
POISON ARROW: Safe malware download capability
AIRWOLF: YouTube profile, comment and video collection
BIRDSTRIKE: Twitter monitoring and profile collection
GLASSBACK: Technique of getting a target's IP address by pretending to be a spammer and ringing them. Target does not need to answer.
MINIATURE HERO: Active skype capability. Provision of realtime call records (SkypeOut and SkypetoSkype) and bidirectional instant messaging. Also contact lists.
PHOTON TORPEDO: A technique to actively grab the IP address of MSN messenger user
SPRING-BISHOP: Finding private photos of targets on Facebook
BOMB BAY: The capacity to increase website hits, rankings
BURLESQUE: The capacity to send spoofed SMS messages
GESTATOR: Amplification of a given message, normally video, on popular multimedia websites (YouTube)
SCRAPHEAP CHALLENGE: Perfect spoofing of emails from Blackberry targets
SUNBLOCK: Ability to deny functionality to send/receive email or view material online
SWAMP DONKEY: A tool that will silently locate all predefined types of file and encrypt them on a targets machine
UNDERPASS: Change outcome of online polls (previously known as NUBILO).
WARPATH: Mass delivery of SMS messages to support an Information Operations campaign.
HUSK: Secure one-on-one web based dead-drop messaging platform.
The list, dated from 2012, says that most of the tools are "fully operational, tested and reliable,” and adds: "Don't treat this like a catalogue. If you don't see it here, it doesn't mean we can't build it."
"We only advertise tools here that are either ready to fire or very close to being ready," the document notes.
The release of these documents comes in the same week that the UK intelligence agency's spying activities are being investigated by surveillance watchdog the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT). Civil liberty groups set a legal challenge against the GCHQ in order to question the legal standing of schemes such as Tempora — a project revealed in the NSA scandal that showed the agency placed data interceptors on fiber-optic cables that carry Internet traffic to and from the UK.
An interpretation of laws surrounding spying, described as 'patronising' by Privacy International -advocates of rights to privacy around the world-, are affecting you as we speak! In releases made by Edward Snowden & co it appears that a loophole has been abused by GCHQ to snoop on what is classified as 'external communications' - your emails, google searches and social networking activity. From the outset, it's an outstanding abuse of power to just have at their fingertips however GCHQ has stated that all work 'is carried out in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework which ensures that our activities are authorised, necessary and proportionate.' Make up your own mind. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-27887639 Photo taken from BBC.
Which airplane to take? — DannyMekic.com
Which airplane to take?
The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines jet could have been avoided, that’s what experts say. Of course it could have been avoided, in an era in which intelligence services like the GHCQ and NSA are able to track down each and every smartphone connected to a cell phone network, and Facebook and Google are planning to release their own world wide internet-like network with drones and balloons. The technological ingredients are there, airlines are allowed to use them — some of them already do — and now the big question is: how do we make all commercial airplanes part of the digital surveillance network?
Making it mandatory to have new surveillance technology on board through regulation seems the way to go, but that was also true after the disappearance and crash of the Air France flight 447, which went down in the middle of the South Atlantic in 2009. It wasn’t done. And even if regulations really will be passed this time; by the time it takes effect, the technology will already be obsolete again.
In order not to constantly lag behind new technological developments, it’s time for all airlines to publish what extra safety measures have been added to each individual aircraft. That way, safety-conscious consumers can decide which airplane to take — just like we know which cars are safer and less safe. That would create a dynamic where airlines are put under public pressure to make their airplanes as safe as possible — to make sure no gigantic passenger airplane will ever disappear from the radar again.
