GCHQ Can Alter Websites in Real Time, download Gmail messages, Sway online polls, & much more
The latest release of documents, provided by Edward Snowden via The Intercept, reveal how UK spy agencies are invading the privacy of social networks as well as other online forums. These tactics, ranging from the development of tools meant to gather Facebook photos set to “private” to manipulating the outcome of online polls, are aimed at swaying opinions of dissenting information towards government interests.

ASTRAL PROJECTION: Remote GSM secure convert internet proxy using TOR hidden services.
BEARTRAP: Bulk retrieval of public BEBO profiles from member or group ID
BIRDSONG: Automated posting of Twitter updates
BUGSY: Google+ collection (circles, profiles, etc.)
GLASSBACK: Technique of getting a targets IP address by pretending to be a spammer and ringing them. Target does not need to answer.
GODFATHER: Public data collection from Facebook.
HACIENDA: Port-scanning tool designed to scan an entire country or city to identify IP locations.
MINIATURE HERO: Active Skype capability. Provision of real-time call records and bidirectional instant messaging.
SILVER SPECTRE: Allows batch Nmap scanning over TOR
SODAWATER: A tool for regularly downloading Gmail messages and forwarding them unto CERBERUS


The Spooks are getting spooky. I think the slow release of the Snowden documents helps this type of information to be received too. Imagine, if the first leak had had all this info in it...It would have been much harder to believe.

From the article:

"Real-time website cloning technique allowing on-the-fly alterations"

So if you put something online the govt doesn't want there they can literally just change it into whatever they want.

Which is why it is important to still keep physical books around the house. Can't be altered or deleted.

Yeah or maybe a non-networked server for file storage that gets physically updated at regular intervals via middle-man transfer such as a external hard rive or thumb drive.

I'd had to defer any of those ideas to resident tech-experts though.
