Topic: NSA hid spying software in hard drive firmware - page 4. (Read 6126 times)
Is the KASPERSKY PDF available directly from KASPERSKY? Is there a KASPERSKY link to it?
The U.S. government is out of control and does not represent or care about the U.S. American people. 
Thats pretty fucking creepy.
this is creepy... we can't escape from the invasion of our privacy
Scary. But i wonder how this is possible since each hard disk manufacturer had their own proprietary hard drives' source code which mean they have to gain access one by one to insert the program.
any way to know if our drive is one of that ?
I am not suprised, NSA is running USA and if they spy their alies like German goverment sure they spy regular ppl if nothing then to test their computing power lol.
These two things do not go together:
1) Software was "completely undetectable" from the PC
2) Software executed on the PC

Moral of the story: if government wants to know what you are up to they will know - no matter what.Big brother is watching, with global social network, internet communicators spying is now easier than ever before.
The U.S. National Security Agency has figured out how to hide spying software deep within hard drives made by Western Digital, Seagate, Toshiba and other top manufacturers, giving the agency the means to eavesdrop on the majority of the world's computers, according to cyber researchers and former operatives.
