Us Phone Surveillance

Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) said on Thursday it had uncovered an American espionage operation that compromised thousands of iPhones using sophisticated surveillance software.

Israel’s attorney general said he was launching an investigation into Israeli police’s use of phone surveillance technology following reports that investigators improperly tracked targets without authorisation.

Of the 50,000 phone numbers that were, according to a consortium of investigative journalists, possible targets for surveillance using the Israeli company NSO Group Ltd.'s Pegasus spyware, apparently not one had a +1 prefix.

Short-range phone sensors and campuswide Wi-Fi networks are empowering colleges across the United States to track hundreds of thousands of students more precisely than ever before.

The US National Security Agency collected 534 million records of phone calls and text messages of Americans last year, more than triple gathered in 2016, a US intelligence agency report released on Friday said.

IMSI Catchers work by pretending to be a legitimate cell tower that a phone would normally communicate with, tricking the phone into sending back identifying information.

A report by The Intercept claims that FBI can easily obtain phone records of journalists and also target their sources.

"The use of mobile phones with internet connections in the sky gave rise to the creation of specific programs at the NSA and GCHQ."

The US government's ability to review and analyze five years' worth of telephone records for the married couple blamed in the deadly shootings in California lapsed just four days earlier when the National Security Agency's controversial mass surveillance program was formally shut down.

The US National Security Agency (NSA) on Sunday ended its mass phone surveillance programme and replaced it with a focused and targeted domestic surveillance programme.

Unlike previous rulings against the NSA's program, Leon's opinion does not grant a stay, meaning it will take effect immediately.

The policy unveiled is similar to the one announced in September by the Justice Department, which includes the FBI.

ACLU told the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan that it should rule that a law Congress passed on June 2 is being used illegally.

US Congress provided a 180-day transition period until the new mechanism of obtaining call detail records is implemented.

Today is a landmark day for Americans' privacy: you can finally make a telephone call in the United States without the NSA automatically keeping a record of who you called, when, and for how long. It's been more than a decade since that was the case. Now the only question is: will it last?
