MIB are now monitoring skype

[Michael John Nunnerley]

Well they have now made it public that they are monitoring skype, they have been doing it for years, but now public due to MS buying SKYPE.

Sorry but it is in Spanish but I am sure you will get the jist of it.

I think it might be more important to determine what they are not monitoring?

Not very damn much.

The government has a very sneaky way of disconnecting itself from what is really taking place. They contract with a company to do the dirty work for them and in some case so deep it could be hard if possible to expose. Yet any software that for example always maintains a connection to some server or ping that server on a routine basis, is very suspect. A good sniffer will root out what s going on, although the output will be in most case encrypted and difficult to make sense of, although is the dump consists of more than a few hundred bytes for each outgoing ping, then it is not good to allow it to remain.

Wonder how many software companies are in bed with the feds? I would guess 99% and 1% don't matter. I will not mention names,but, well most thinking people should know what is going on here.

Example, runs from your grocery discount card, you health insurance, your gas credit card and of course your major credit cards, your phone conversations, your emails, your tweets, your..............

Get the point? Anyway none of us have anything to hide, right??????

yes you are right. They have now patented they way they do it "is that to stop anyone else doing it" the world is full of surprises, now all controlled by MSMIB's

Everything you do is being monitored. The old saying is know your enemy and the people who run this world consider you their enemy. You are being tracked so they will be able to exterminate you. It's eugenics and why all this tracking is being done.

Even if you mail letters, they have machines that scan and read your letters while still in the envelopes.

Probably the only safe communications are carrier pigeons.

Earth signals are probably also relatively safe.

Line of sight laser communications are also a safe method. This is what the government made "UFO"'s use to communicate to each other.

If you carry your cell phone with you can turn it off, they also can turn on the mic and listen to you.

They have computers monitor ALL phone calls for EVERYONE. They do key word detections and if you say the "right" words, it gets connected to you in their database. They also have voice recognition software so even if you call from some "safe" phone, they will know it's you.

Anyone who doesn't see what's going on just has his head in the sand.

Maybe this is true....

But it should not stop you from doing what you normally do. Worrying about this crap is pointless, only keeps you from your progression.

The Internet is like a black hole for data.

Yet any software that for example always maintains a connection to some server or ping that server on a routine basis, is very suspect.

How so? Sometimes the software simply needs a continuous connection for it to function correctly? Like in the case of IM's, and other streaming apps.
However if it's just some random app, or continuous "auto update" checks, then yeah I do agree.

Re the skype monitoring.
If you think the monitoring ends there, don't be deceived.
When browsing, Cookies can be shared across any websites, and if you have flash, these cookies can even be shared across browsers.
So just because you login with facebook or google on a separate browser (eg chrome), doesn't mean they're not going to know it was you from the other browser (eg firefox).
Even if you use different computers, but with the same internet connection, they would see you're coming from one IP, and that is a potential way of associating the data with you.

Google and facebook especially have ways of knowing that you are visiting other sites. Have you heard of google stats? Or seen any of the facebook feedback forms and "like" buttons popping up on most popular sites now? Yes, they can tell which sites you are visiting.

Did you know:
G-Mail keeps a copy of every email you send and receive, even if you delete it.
Facebook won't ever delete your account. If you want to leave (unregister), they will disable it for awhile, and if you don't login within a certain period, they will simply archive the data. (mark as deleted)
In fact I wouldn't be surprised if facebook never deleted stuff you choose to delete. (like photo's etc) It probably just sets it's status as deleted, thereby giving us the illusion that it is gone.

The internet is like a black hole for data. Whatever you do, is logged somewhere, and logs can be monitored. Old logs are hardly deleted for space reasons, as storage is upgraded because prices keep on plummeting.

Routing your data through an annonymous proxy might seem like a good idea, but even then, who knows what happens, and who you can trust. Maybe your session is just given a higher priority for monitoring, meaning you just made it easier for them to monitor you?

What I think what one could take out of this, is you shouldn't be naive to think that you aren't being monitored. You are.

[SilverToGold]

I agree 100%.

They are going to try and get you anyways, so you have only one option and that is to resist and do what is right.

Maybe this is true....

But it should not stop you from doing what you normally do. Worrying about this crap is pointless, only keeps you from your progression.

What if i was to whip up a crude Skype clone with 256bit AES encryption for the FE community? I would use 1024bit blowfish but it's illegal to use in the USA .. go figure.

Exactly. Legal encryption is only secure from the average joe blob.

Any ways around this, to get real security?

Spanish - detected to English translation

Microsoft has patented "Legal Intercept", a technology that allows you to intercept and monitor a legal way voice and video calls to Skype, a service acquired in May by 8,500 million dollars.

Technology "Legal Intercept 'aims to expand the scope of criminal terrorists track online conversations

The technology is intended to expand the possibilities for monitoring and recording conversations online criminal terrorists.

As reported in PC World, Microsoft describes it as a tool similar to telecommunications companies that used to meet government requirements for safety.
Technology

Microsoft to legally record the voice and video calls to Skype
Skype goes this way to enter the CALEA-Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, which makes business communication technologies can be controlled, provided for security and status.

Despite the order to "Legal Intercept" which explained the Redmond giant, the patent has generated concerns among Internet users regarding privacy, as seen in various blogs and forums, and Twitter, where numerous posts alarm.

I cant believe they send customers bank details unencrypted from the teller outlet to the servers. I'm pretty sure these guy's in the video have been misinformed or they are just plain stupid. I would like to see the guy at the end sniff data from a hole in the wall machine and make sense of it. Not a chance in hell. Media propaganda.
