 |  NSA spied on 100,000 computers The New York Times has revealed that the National Security Agency has installed software in 100,000 computers around the world allowing it to carry out surveillance on them. Most of the software was installed by getting access to computer networks, but has also used a secret technology that allows it entry even to computers not connected to the Internet, the Times claimed. The Times was quoting documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The technology had been in use since at least 2008 and relied on a covert channel of radio waves transmitted from tiny circuit boards and USB cards secretly inserted in the computers. It fixed one of the biggest problems facing American intelligence agencies for years: getting into computers that people have tried to make impervious to spying or cyberattack. http://news.techeye.net/business/nsa...0000-computers |
