NSA, FBI tap into US internet companies' servers - report
2013-06-07 08:19:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) The US National Security Agency and FBI are tapping directly into the servers of nine major US internet companies to view connection logs as well as audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails and documents to track foreign targets, according to a document obtained by the Washington Post. The government's PRISM programme is focused on foreign communication traffic which flows through US servers. The director of national intelligence, James R Clapper, confirmed the existence of the programme, while saying there were unspecified inaccuracies in the Guardian and Washington Post reports about the information collection. People familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal that the NSA also receives a record of the location, number called, time of the call and length of the conversation every time customers of Verizon, AT&T and Sprint make a call. Former NSA officials said the NSA also gains access to information about e-mail and website visits from ISPs and that it has similar relationships with credit card providers.

The company, however, warned that because of Citadel's size and complexity, it does not expect to fully take out "all of the botnets in the world using the Citadel malware."
