The Biden administration secretly instructed Google to unmask Americans who were searching for specific phrases that were of interest to the US government, according to recently unsealed court records. Biden’s DOJ used controversial “keyboard warrants” to order Google to collect the private information of individuals who searched for specified phrases. According to a Forbes report, the Justice Department inadvertently unsealed the documents in September (which were quickly re-sealed.) The first instance of this Orwellian breach of privacy occurred in 2019, when federal agents were on the lookout for males suspected of sex-trafficking a kid. The juvenile went missing, then reappeared a year later, claiming to have been kidnapped and raped, according to a search request. Investigators demanded that Google divulge the IP addresses of anyone who looked for the minor’s name on the internet. The tech behemoth promptly gave agents with the names and addresses of anybody who

The UK Ministry of Defence has inadvertently revealed its plan to spy on social media platforms in order to detect “change(s) in population sentiment.” Despite ostensibly being about “better use of existing silos,” the MoD’s Data Strategy for Defence document explains how the military should move towards “Automated scanning of social media platforms” to detect “change in population sentiment.” “Nowhere does the document explain why a strategy paper has gone so far off the beaten track that it promotes collecting data the MoD doesn’t have and using it for decidedly non-military purposes,” reports the Register.

At least a dozen U.S. National Security Agency employees have been caught using secret government surveillance tools to spy on the emails or phone calls of their current or former spouses and lovers in the past decade, according to the intelligence agency’s internal watchdog. The practice is known in intelligence world shorthand as “LOVEINT” and was disclosed by the NSA Office of the Inspector General in response to a request by the Senate Judiciary Committee’s top Republican Charles Grassley for a report on abuses of the NSA’s surveillance authority. In one instance in 2005, a military member of the NSA queried six email addresses of a former American girlfriend - on the first day he obtained access to the data collection system. He later testified that “he wanted to practice on the system” and gained no information as a result of his queries. In another instance, a foreign woman who was employed by the U.S. government suspected that her lover, an NSA civilian employee,

A common talking point coming from Biden officials to justify the Afghanistan withdrawal to hawks in Washington is that there are greater “terrorist threats” in other countries that the US needs to face. On Monday, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines made this case at the annual Intelligence and National Security Summit. “In terms of the homeland, the threat right now from terrorist groups, we don’t prioritize at the top of the list Afghanistan,” Haines said. “What we look at is Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and Iraq for ISIS. That’s where we see the greatest threat,” she said. One thing Yemen, Somalia, Syria, and Iraq have in common is that US intervention in these countries led to the growth of groups affiliated with al-Qaeda and ISIS.

The digital rights group CitizenLab has discovered a vulnerability that allowed Israeli spyware company NSO Group to implant its Pegasus malware onto virtually every iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch device. CitizenLab revealed the vulnerability on Monday, a week after discovering it by analyzing the phone of a Saudi activist that had been infected with the malware. The discovery was announced to the public shortly after Apple rolled out an update to patch the vulnerability. The vulnerability allowed the NSO Group’s clients to send malicious files disguised as .gif files to a target’s phone, which would then exploit “an integer overflow vulnerability in Apple’s image rendering library” and leave the phone open to the installation of NSO Group’s now-infamous ‘Pegasus’ malware. The exploit is what’s known as a ‘zero-click’ vulnerability, meaning that the target user would not have to click a suspicious link or file to allow the malware onto their device.

Afghanistan is no longer the US' top concern among international terrorist threats to the American homeland, the nation's top spy said at an intelligence and national security conference in Washington on Monday, even amid ongoing fears from some critics who argue that the country could become a haven for terrorist organizations like ISIS and al Qaeda to regroup following the US withdrawal.

New text messages released Thursday show FBI officials spied on a Fox News executive over the course of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation that targeted President Donald Trump as a secret Russian agent who illegally stole the election from Hillary Clinton in 2016. The FBI surveilled and recorded a phone call between former Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos and an unnamed vice president at Fox News, according to a text message sent to fired former FBI official Peter Strzok just weeks before Trump was inaugurated as president in 2017. Agents were targeting former Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos, who later pleaded guilty to making false statements to FBI agents during the Russian collusion investigation. The FBI used the Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, as a legal pretext to investigate and spy on Papadopoulos, as well as former White House National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, former Trump campaign manager Paul

Aviem Sella, who the US tried for decades to extradite from Israel to stand trial on espionage charges, has been given a symbolic promotion in rank. It was announced days after a meeting between the leaders of the two nations. Sella, 75, was the focus of a big scandal that put a rift between the US and its Middle-Eastern ally back in the 1980s. The Israel Air Force fighter pilot was taking a sabbatical in the US and, while there, had recruited US Navy intelligence analyst Jonathan Pollard. Pollard abused his access to American secrets to sell them to the Israelis. He was ultimately caught and sent to jail. Sella's role as Pollard's handler was not disclosed to the US officers investigating Pollard's activities and, unlike other Israeli officials involved in the case, he was not granted immunity from prosecution by the US. He instead went back to Israel, which then refused to extradite him on a US request.

NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has issued a chilling warning about Apple's plans to begin scanning iPhone photos of users, saying the proposal will give governments terrifying access to citizen's private data. Snowden, a former computer intelligence consultant, who in 2013 leaked classified documents to show the scale of government snooping on U.S. citizens, condemned the new plans in strong terms, and says they set a precedent which will ultimately be abused by corrupt politicians to destroy individual privacy. He said that Apple had chosen a dangerous path with their scheme to access users' photos, and that governments will manipulate the rule to give them greater access to data they claim they need access to - such as a phone owner's presence at a protest.

The new electric Genesis seems to look even better in these photos than it does in the official photos.

APPROXIMATELY 40 SENIOR OFFICIALS in the government of deposed Afghan President Ashraf Ghani have been secretly smuggled to Turkey in recent days. They include Afghanistan’s intelligence chief, according to reports in Turkish media. They claim that the Afghan officials were smuggled out of Taliban-controlled Afghanistan by Turkish military and intelligence operatives. The latter reportedly hid the officials among crowds of Turkish citizens who were evacuated from Kabul in recent days, as the Taliban were entering the Afghan capital. Turkish media said the Turkish embassy in Kabul had developed evacuation plans earlier this summer, as the Taliban were conquering large swathes of territory throughout the countryside, including a number of provincial capitals. These plans were put in place for the benefit of Turkish expatriates who lived and worked in Afghanistan. However, according to reports, Turkish embassy officials also reached out to “Afghan officials, who have close ties with

The CIA is considering establishing a new China-focused mission center, Bloomberg is reporting, at a moment tensions have steadily escalated over months of continued Biden-ordered sail throughs of the Taiwan Strait and other provocative 'freedom of navigation' warship maneuvers in the South China Sea. It comes amid criticisms that China is ultimately "out-spying" the United States, also amid tit-for-tat cyber intrusion accusations which have gone on for years. CIA Director Bill Burns has ordered a broad review of the agency's China capabilities. Currently China-related missions fall under the aegis of the much larger "Mission Center for East Asia and Pacific," but officials are turning their sights to a specialized internal unit with its own mandate of a narrower China focus which would include vaster resources.

South Africa's intelligence agency became weakened by corruption under ex-president Jacob Zuma, his successor Cyril Ramaphosa said Thursday, weeks after unprecedented unrest overwhelmed the police and prompted deployment of the military. Ramaphosa told a judicial panel probing the plundering of state assets under Zuma that "we have been through a period of state capture that really debilitated a number of state institutions." The State Security Agency (SSA) "was one of the agencies that was compromised," he said. Ramaphosa's testimony comes on the heels of riots and looting last month sparked by the jailing of Zuma -- an episode that triggered accusations of sabotage and failures by South Africa's intelligence chiefs. Ramaphosa was deputy president for four years under Zuma's tenure before succeeding him in 2018. On his first day of testifying on Wednesday, he said that he was in the dark about much of the corrupt dealings. But he said he chose not to speak out about the graft as he
