Edward Snowden used Beam to take part in a teleconference at the TED conference in Vancouver. According to the whistleblower, much information about the NSA's spying capabilities has not yet been made public, but will soon be.
Edward , who began leaking confidential NSA documents in September 2013, reported that the secret service has a top-secret program called “ Bullrun .” The goal of this program is to break the encryption used to protect Internet communications.
"It's a program that the NSA is deliberately misleading companies by telling them they need to work together to secure their systems. "But in reality, the service degrades the quality of corporate security," Snowden told a TED audience.
"They create backdoors that can be exploited not only by the NSA, but also by some others who have the time and resources."
If we lose a single security standard, if we lose the trust we have in SSL, we will live in a less secure world. We will not be able to access banks or any transactions without worrying that someone or someone will be watching us. ”
Snowden highlights the fact that backdoors used by the NSA leave companies open to attacks by others.
Last week, articles published revealed that the NSA had the processes and know-how that allowed the service to auto-infect malware on millions of devices around the world. Of course, the NSA has categorically refused to infect computers.
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
