Talk Title & Summary
“Actually Existing Mass Surveillance and Targeting: Mind-Sets and Methods”
This talk wants to raise awareness that our Internet infrastructure is clearly under attack and fundamental technical counter-measures are utterly necessary. Since the EU’s ECHELON reports, some evidence becomes evident that a global mass surveillance complex exists in practice, which is embedded into a “private-public partnership” with firms collecting our personal data. So then the Snowden revelations as of June 2013 and WikiLeaks’ Vault 7 and other releases clearly show that basically, the conclusion to take is: if there are ten attack vectors, all ten are used — only costs for attackers being sometimes the limiting factor.
