Was genau mit Konzepten, „die über den rein passiven, technischen Schutz“ hinausgehen gemeint ist, verschweigt der Bericht. Eine Ahnung gibt ein Artikel aus der NATO Legal Gazette „Legal Issues Related to Cyber“ mit dem Titel „From Active Cyber Defence to Responsive Cyber Defence“. Responsiv ist hier das Stichwort für „mehr als rein passiv“. Responsive Verteidigung, so der Artikel, sei eine Untergruppe von „Active Cyber Defense“:

(29.Februar) So one can expect the territory of Ukraine to be littered with piles of poorly guarded weaponry and “empty formations”. A Russian official recently confirmed this when he said: “When the USSR collapsed, the Ukrainian territory was replete with millions of guns, mines, artillery systems and other weapons. The area where the combat activities are held today, where Kiev leads its punitive operation, is no exception — there were weaponry warehouses which the militia seized.” Slavyansk, in particular, is said to have a particularly large dump in an old mine.

WhatsApp wurde von einem Richter aufgefordert, den Chatverlauf zwischen mutmaßlichen Drogenhändlern an Ermittler herauszugeben. Nachdem sich Facebook weigerte, wurde deren Vizepräsident für Lateinamerika, Diego Dzodan, am Dienstag in seiner Wohnung in São Paulo festgenommen, wie die Zeitung „Folha de São Paulo“ online berichtete.

Comey, testifying first, acknowledged that a „mistake“ was made in the handling of San Bernardino gunman Syed Rizwan Farook‘s iPhone in the 24 hours following the December attack.

The FBI previously reported that investigators had reset Farook‘s iCloud account password. As a result, Comey said Monday, it became „impossible later to cause the phone to back up again to the iCloud.“

(22.2.2016) According to senior Apple executives on Friday, the FBI might have been able to obtain data from an iPhone 5C belonging to Syed Farook, one of the San Bernardino terrorists, by connecting it to a familiar Wi-Fi network and having it create a new backup on Apple‘s iCloud service.

The idea was foiled, the executives say, because the password to the terrorist‘s iCloud account was reset shortly after the FBI took possession of the phone

Comey made a series of baffling statements, saying that Apple needs to let the FBI into their “back door” to prevent others from doing so (uh?) and claiming he’d heard from every available expert, when many say they haven’t even been contacted. At one point, the top domestic law-enforcement officer in the country wondered aloud if he should just kidnap Apple engineers and force them to write the software he wants.

Insgesamt versorgte die Sanitätsgruppe Süd-West als Sanitätsdienst der Gegenproteste im Einsatzzeitraum ab 12:30 Uhr, dem Beginn der Gegenproteste, 107 Patienten. Darunter waren alleine 81 Betroffene des großzügigen Pfeffersprayeinsatzes der Polizei, von denen einer einen Krampfanfall erlitt. Es wurden 16 Kopfplatzwunden versorgt. 2 Patienten wurden mit Verdacht auf eine Extremitätenfraktur behandelt. 4 Patienten erlitten vermutlich eine Gehirnerschütterung.4 weitere Patienten wurden mit kleineren chirurgischen Wunden versorgt. Von den aufgeführten Patienten mussten 17 im Krankenhaus weiter behandelt werden. Einige davon wurden an den öffentlichen Rettungsdienst übergeben, andere v.a. mit nähbedürftigen Kopfplatzwunden zusammen mit Freunden selbstständig in die Klinik geschickt.

A New World Order has been installed destroying national sovereignty and the rights of citizens. Under the new rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO) established in 1995, “entrenched rights” were granted to the world’s largest banks and multinational conglomerates. Public debts have spiraled, state institutions have collapsed, and the accumulation of private wealth has progressed relentlessly.

The minister said he met with his Italian counterpart earlier Thursday on the sidelines of an anti-Daesh group coalition meeting at NATO headquarters in Brussels.

In a joint press conference, Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled stressed that the agreement is considered “another cornerstone that builds on an existing partnership between the two sides”. He added that the agreement will strengthen Kuwait’s capabilities on facing security challenges in the region. On his part, Stoltenberg pointed out that the agreement will make NATO work more active and effective in the region. The agreement, NATO’s first in the Gulf region, will facilitate the transit of personnel, supplies and equipment to the Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan. It will also make any future NATO activity in the region much more effective.

It‘s long been known that Yoo also was deeply involved in creating the legal justifications for that very warrantless surveillance program he‘s been defending, and now, finally, years later, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence has released the May 17, 2002 letter that Yoo sent to the FISA Court chief judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly. You can read it here.

As the ODNI release notes, Judge Kollar-Kotelly was allowed to read the letter, justifying the NSA‘s warrantless surveillance on Americans, but „was not authorized to retain a copy or take notes“ because nothing says transparency democracy like secret interpretations of the law where no one‘s allowed to know the details, and the people overseeing it are only allowed to glance at the justifications.

One — the Presidential Policy Guidance, or PPG — is a classified record that sets out the law and policy that the government must follow when it carries out targeted killings. President Obama issued the PPG in May 2013 as part of what seemed to be a renewed commitment to provide transparency over and restraints on the program. But his administration did not make the PPG public, releasing instead only some of its most general standards.

Court officials in Sergipe state confirmed that a judge had ordered the jailing of Facebook Vice President for Latin America Diego Dzodan. Federal police in Sao Paulo state said he was being held there for questioning.

We the undersigned, including legal and human rights organizations, academics, and policymakers condemn the reactions of the governments of Sweden and the United Kingdom to the finding by the United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention that Julian Assange is arbitrarily detained. The governments of Sweden and the United Kingdom are setting a dangerous precedent that undermines the United Nations Human Rights system as a whole.

It is not too late to get away from GMOs, from planned sterility and from depopulating the globe for the benefit of a tyrant elite. But, We the People, have to wake up, take back the sovereign control of our nations from the vassal leadership which Washington has discretely, almost imperceptibly placed at the helm of the 11 TPP and the 28 TTIP nations by stolen or manipulated elections or outright ‘regime change’. The breaking up of the Eurozone and the European Union – both of which are in dire straits – might be the beginning of a new era of self-determination.
