Narus: Security through Surveillance

(11.November 2008) In 2006, an AT&T engineer named Mark Klein revealed a secret room inside a major Internet hub that was only accessible to engineers with NSA security clearance. His revelation was written up in the New York Times as part of its larger coverage of NSA wiretapping of domestic communications. Among the documents revealed by Klein was an equipment list for the secret room. Among a dozen high powered servers and networking devices on the list was a single device by a company called Narus.
