The NSA has been secretly intercepting electronics orders, and sending the electronics orders top their secret lab, where the NSA installs spyware and back-doors that allow the NSA to secretly and easily hack into the device or network it is connected to.
[showtime]Once the NSA has secretly intercepted the electronics shipment, and installed their spyware and back-doors, the NSA will then complete the shipment to the unsuspecting customer, who has no idea that the electronics device he just purchased came out of the box infected by NSA spyware viruses and back-doors, and any the accessible company or personal information will at risk once the new device is turned on.
What is the limit, and where is the end to the unconstitutional and criminal NSA spying on every innocent American?
Shipping giants FedEx and UPS haven’t said much since it was revealed Sunday that the National Security Agency intercepts electronics packages to install spyware, but what they have said implies they knew what the agency was up to.
Security researcher Jacob Appelbaum co-wrote a Der Spiegel article published Sunday detailing how the NSA intercepts newly purchased computer products mid-shipment to install surveillance malware before reaching the buyer without their knowledge.
“If a target person, agency or company orders a new computer or related accessories, for example, TAO [Office of Tailored Access Operations] can divert the shipping delivery to its own secret workshops,” Appelbaum wrote. ”The NSA calls this method interdiction. At these so-called “load stations,” agents carefully open the package in order to load malware onto the electronics, or even install hardware components that can provide backdoor access for the intelligence agencies. All subsequent steps can then be conducted from the comfort of a remote computer.”
In response to Daily Caller inquiries to shipping companies UPS and FedEx asking whether they had knowledge of such a program and if they cooperated with the NSA, FedEx media relations’ Scott Fiedler responded with the following:
“The answer to your questions about ‘permission/cooperation, etc…’ is – ’No.’”
Fiedler decline to comment on whether FedEx was aware of the program, or give a statement describing FedEx’s official stance on the matter.
UPS declined to comment on repeated requests from TheDC.
During a weekend communication conference in Berlin, Appelbaum unveiled numerous previously unknown agency programs and capabilities that began as far back as 2007, including the NSA’s ability to hack private WiFi networks from almost 10 miles away.
