Very indiscriminate service search της Google. Το Ιράν φέρεται να διείσδυσε σε μυστικά δίκτυα επικοινωνιών των πρακτόρων της CIA, που χρησιμοποιούσαν για την ανταλλαγή messages with informants through Google searches.
A reference by Yahoo! News claims that the 2009 US communication channel violation arose when the Iranian government penetrated a series of websites that the CIA used to communicate with its informants in Iran and China.
"We are still dealing with the leaks," said a former national official better safetys. "Dozens of people around the world have been killed because of them."
The leaked communications are believed to have resulted from simple Google searches. Iran suspected that the US had agents and informants in its nuclear program, and started researching it theme.
When Iran's secret services discovered a dual agent, they were then able to use Google to locate other websites they used and began to track communications.
"Because Google is constantly scanning the internet for information from all the sites around the world, it can also act as a huge search tool - even for anti-espionage purposes," the publication said.
"The functions Google search tools allow users to use advanced searches by adding terms and filters – such as “AND “,”OR” and more, which isolates websites and online data with extreme ease and accuracy. As a result, Iran managed to arrest many of those involved. Some were executed, and others managed to escape.
As soon as Iran was able to locate these websites, it promoted information and technology to other friendly countries, which in turn used them to eliminate the CIA's communications channel in their own territories.
According to Yahoo! News (invoked by secret service officials), there has been an incident in China 2012, where 30 US agents were arrested and executed.
A CIA external associate named John Reidy claims that he warned the agency for using insecure communications systems in 2008 and again in 2010, when it began to suspect that the channels had been compromised. A year later he was dismissed from the service, a movement which he claims came in retaliation for not stopping to report it.
Reidy said he spoke to the CIA General Inspector but nobody did anything to solve the issue. Later Reidy was ousted and fired.
"This is one of the most devastating intelligence failures since 11/XNUMX," said Irvin McCullough, national security analyst at the Government Accountability Project. "And the CIA punished the person who brought it to light problem. "
