I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in
crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly ten years of
hard work by shutting down Lavabit. After significant soul searching, I have
decided to suspend operations. I wish that I could legally share with you
the events that led to my decision. I cannot. I feel you deserve to know
what’s going on--the first amendment is supposed to guarantee me the
freedom to speak out in situations like this.... 阅读全帖 |

A pro-privacy email service long used by NSA leaker Edward Snowden abruptly
shut down today, blaming a secret U.S. court battle it has been fighting for
six weeks — one that it seems to be losing so far.
“I have been forced to make a difficult decision: to become complicit in
crimes against the American people or walk away from nearly 10 years of hard
work by shutting down Lavabit,” owner Ladar Levison wrote in a statement.

My Fellow Citizens,
My legal saga started last summer with a knock at the door, behind which
stood two federal agents ready to serve me with a court order requiring the
installation of surveillance equipment on my company’s network.

c**c 发帖数: 2593 | 5 Snowden事件对整个世界信息安全业界的影响都很大。除了许多国家开始对美国IT企业
大大提高戒心以外,很多开源软件也受到影响。因为Snowden向公众推荐了Tor、
Truecrypt这些软件来躲过NSA的监听,如今这些软件先后出问题了。先是Tor被NSA植入
木马。然后这两天一大新闻是Truecrypt网站突然宣布这个软件停止开发,解释的原因
很奇怪,完全说不通。外界主流的猜想是,很大可能是NSA要往Truecrypt植入后门,
Truecrypt开发人员不愿这么做,但又受限于法庭禁口令,不能公开说出真相,只好随
便找个借口停掉这个项目。就像去年Snowden刚爆料不久,他所用的加密邮件服务商
Lavabit收到美国官方的强硬要求,要在这个服务植入后门,监控上面的通信。Lavabit
的主持人不想完全服从,但作为个人,很难对抗那么强大的国家机器,被相关法律手续
折腾惨了,最后干脆关掉了Lavabit服务,既保护了用户隐私,字面上又没有违法。
所以现在业界的玩笑,说Snowden是真祥瑞,他提到什么、用了什么,什么就成为NSA优
先植入后门的目标。 |

G*******n 发帖数: 6889 | 7 lavabit可是愿意把雪墩电邮解密的,问题是它那个公司,为了可行性、经济性,一共
只用了五把加密钥匙(每个电邮协议共享一把),而不是每个用户各自专用一把加密钥
匙,而fbi要的是那五把加密钥匙交出,所以给了,等于所有几万客户都光要屁股了,
最后在每天5000罚款的惩罚下,levison还是把加密钥匙交出了,不过是用4点大小的字
体打印在几十张纸上交的,结果doj去找法官撑腰,要lavabit把加密钥匙用工业标准的
电子形式交出,levison把公司关了,然后交出钥匙 |

l***o 发帖数: 5337 | 11 去年有关美国国家安全局(NSA)的监视丑闻传出后,在位于瑞士的粒子物理实验室—
—欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)引起了轰动。博士研究生安迪·严(Andy Yen,音译)在
Facebook群“Young at CERN”上发了这样一则消息:“我非常担忧隐私问题,并且想
知道对此我能做些什么。”
结果一石激起千层浪,在积极参与讨论的大约40人当中,有6人开始在CERN的1号餐厅会
面,将他们在计算机科学和物理学领域的深厚知识汇聚起来,创立了一个类似于谷歌邮
箱Gmail的电子邮件系统——ProtonMail,该系统利用端到端加密法,使得外界不可能
对其进行监控。
实际上,自从20世纪80年代以来,加密型电子邮件就一直存在了,但它们都非常难以使
用。安迪说,当爱德华·斯诺登(Edward Snowden)嘱咐一名记者用一个端到端加密的
电子邮件系统采访关于NSA监视计划的详细情况时,这名记者无法使用该系统。
“我们在数据传到服务器之前,就在浏览器上对数据进行加密,”他解释说,“当数据
传到服务器上时,它已经加密了。因此如果有人来找我们表示想看看某个人的电子邮件
’,我们只能说,加密数据倒是有... 阅读全帖 |

些人帮 FBI 去捉其他的 hackers 或者帮 FBI 反 hack.
其实,很多写电脑病毒的可能在病毒软件公司的也不一定,知道怎么放病毒,也自然知
道如何防。不过,看利益是落在那一方。
美国 FBI 刚不久前就发了通缉令,通缉中国军方 5 个还是 6 个 hackers, 专门hack
美国政府的秘密。。很多读者看到这新闻,就开始留言说 NSA。。。
呵呵呵。。
