Nobody’s Perfect: Facebook VS NSA
Nobody’s Perfect:
This week we have two security mishaps: Facebook VS the NSA
Let’s start with the genius who single handedly invented the perfect spying system for the U.S. government: Mark Zuckerburg. It seems Mark must have been out looking at Google glasses instead of taking care of business, A Palestinian hacker found a way to get on Mark’s personal message board:
A computer hacker has broken into Facebook owner Mark Zuckerberg’s account and posted a message on his homepage to show how the site’s security is deficient, after the company’s security team snubbed his efforts to report the problem.
The man, who goes by the name “Khalil,” said on his blog that he submitted several reports to Facebook’s “white hat” team about a site vulnerability that allowed him to post on anybody’s wall, despite their security settings, reports Gizmodo.
But the second time Khalil submitted the error, he received an e-mail telling him “I am sorry this is not a bug.”
“Exploiting bugs to impact real users is not acceptable behavior for a white hat,” said Facebook. ”
Researchers are permitted to create test accounts through a special Facebook site, the social network’s security team said, noting that more than $1 million has been paid out in rewards to people who report bugs.
Right. The guy tries to help Zuckerface out, and Zuckerberg acts like your usually immoral liberal: He tells him thanks, but get lost. After all, the government can get on FACEBOOK and get into anybody’s homepage, so what’s new here?
And then, there’s the NSA:
Last week, The Washington Post reported that an NSA internal audit and other secret documents provided by Snowden showed the agency “has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since Congress granted the agency broad new powers in 2008.”
But there was less than meets the eye in this story, Journal editors write. “The critics claim to have finally found evidence of government abuse, but the truth is that the evidence shows no abuse and even reveals admirable self-monitoring by the NSA.” The audit reveals that the agency only broke its privacy rules 2,776 times over the last year among the tens of millions of communications it intercepts monthly. And the auditors said the majority of slip-ups were “database query incidents due to human error.”
Wow. This is how you spin it. You tell the American citizen that — “Hey! Mathematically speaking, we are doing a great job at collecting everybody data, aren’t we!”
Nobody wants to know why we are spending trillions funding the unconstitutional NSA spying when Facebook does most of the surveillance on everybody in the world for free?
So, who wins the Nobody’s Perfect award for the week?
David Miranda—a journalist working with the Guardian who visited Edward Snowdon in Russia, and very stupidly took his laptop and all his notes with him on his return trip to Britian. He was stopped by the British government, interrogated for 9 hours, and then his laptop and notes were confiscated.
Really…hasn’t he EVER seen a James Bond movie?
He should have found some chick at the airport to carry that back for him.
So, David Miranda, you win the Nobody’s Perfect award for the week! Congratulations! Unless of course…
You really gave them….holiday pictures of Moscow encoded with secrets because Edward Snowdon is actually an undercover agent for the CIA.
Michelle is a Single Mom, and Obama is Gay…Who Knew?
Nobody Flashes
Could Obama actually have done smack in the back of a limo while some guy came down on him? And even it he did, and he IS gay, why should we care?
Well, by Obama’s own admission he did cocaine, and just about everything else in his past, so if he did heavy drugs, I don’t think the “homo’ part would be surprising at all.
The reason we SHOULD care, is that half the country, will forever be watching Oprah Winfrey (who by many witnesses had her own crack habit) and Jane Fonda rewrite the historical record that Ronald Reagan did not care about black people…with their newly released…”All White Men are Racists” movie, while ignoring the fact that we might have a homo-crack addict running the world.
Notice…Michelle is a single mom. Who knew?
