Ergh this made feel kinda icky, I now want to unplug my 360 from the wall when I’m not using it even though I know the chance of them actually watching me is little more than paranoia
The NSA has something like the 5th or 6th largest data center in existance, its been around for about a decade, in Utah.
They just capture everything, they have wiretaps on all the trunk lines that feed into undersea cables going international, they work with every major ISP, basically every major city in the US has a building where there are a bunch of floors for major ISPs/TelComms, and a bunch of floors for DHS, FBI, NSA, (Not the) CIA, etc, where those trunk lines come in.
For over a decade now, the problem is that they have so much data that they don’t know what to do with it, how to search through efficiently.
Or, well, that was their problem.
Enter Palantir, whose intial early whole thing as a company was developing ways to prioritizes and rapidly search through astounding amounts of data.
… You aren’t paranoid enough.
If it makes you feel better, when Elon and his idiot DOGE crew did their thing earlier this year, they probably compromised, amongst many other Federal databases… SIPRNet, the superuberduper classified comm system the military uses for the most sensitive realtime digital comms.
Yeah they just fucking got a log in and then opened a shitty remote portal so they could get into it from wherever, as opposed to, you know, a secure site.
Chinese and Russian IPs were nearly instantly seen trying to barge their way in, and frankly, I think they managed to.
