The British secret service GCHQ has leaks in the anti-virus software of Kaspersky try to abuse it. In addition, the service managed traffic of Cisco routers to redirect you to its own systems. That shows off new Snowden-documents.
Details about the abuse of exploits for Kaspersky-software are not in the document, where The Guardian of cites. With regards to the Cisco routers, in the documents that the GCHQ “some traffic can divert via international links towards GCHQ’s systems for passive data collection.” The text comes from a memo from 2008 with the title ‘Top secret strap 2 eyes only’, that strangely enough, however, to the intranet of the service arrived.
The Guardian also mentions a 2009 report by the US National Intelligence Council, on the intranet of GCHQ. This report gives a prediction for five years of the internet threats to the information infrastructure of the US. In the document, would be that espionage, sabotage and crime is major threat for companies and citizens as encryption and other protective measures are slower to be implemented than expected. The defensive abilities in this way would remain on the offensive.
In the report, would a notification be made that encryption is the best defense is to protect your data, and especially multi-factor authentication would help. Prime minister David Cameron of the United Kingdom was insinuating at the beginning of this week, understand that it is not impossible if that government services communication services were listening in, which he seemed to imply that strong encryption is prohibited. Also would he be the American president Obama under pressure want to convert to tech better to work together with spionagediensten.
