WikiLeaks: The Spy Files
Mass interception of entire populations is not only a reality; it is a secret new industryspanning 25 countries
It sounds like something out of Hollywood, but as of today, mass interception systems, builtby Western intelligence contractors, including for political opponents are a reality. TodayWikiLeaks began releasing a database of hundreds of documents from as many as 160intelligence contractors in the mass surveillance industry. Working with Bugged Planet andPrivacy International, as well as media organizations form six countries – ARD in Germany,The Bureau of Investigative Journalism in the UK, The Hindu in India, L Espresso in Italy,OWNI in France and the Washington Post in the U.S. Wikileaks is shining a light on thissecret industry that has boomed since September 11, 2001 and is worth billions of dollars peryear. WikiLeaks has released 287 documents today, but the Spy Files project is ongoing andfurther information will be released this week and into next year.
International surveillance companies are based in the more technologically sophisticatedcountries, and they sell their technology on to every country of the world. This industry is, inpractice, unregulated. Intelligence agencies, military forces and police authorities are able tosilently, and on mass, and secretly intercept calls and take over computers without the help orknowledge of the telecommunication providers. Users physical location can be tracked if they are carrying a mobile phone, even if it is only on stand by.
But the WikiLeaks Spy Files are more than just about good Western countries exporting tobad developing world countries . Western companies are also selling a vast range of masssurveillance equipment to Western intelligence agencies. In traditional spy stories,intelligence agencies like MI5 bug the phone of one or two people of interest. In the last tenyears systems for indiscriminate, mass surveillance have become the norm. Intelligencecompanies such as VASTech secretly sell equipment to permanently record the phone calls of
entire nations. Others record the location of every mobile phone in a city, down to 50 meters.Systems to infect every Facebook user, or smart-phone owner of an entire population groupare on the intelligence market.
Selling Surveillance to Dictators
When citizens overthrew the dictatorships in Egypt and Libya this year, they uncoveredlistening rooms where devices from Gamma Corporation of the UK, Amesys of France,VASTech of South Africa and ZTE Corp of China monitored their every move online and onthe phone.
Surveillance companies like SS8 in the U.S., Hacking Team in Italy and Vupen in Francemanufacture viruses (Trojans) that hijack individual computers and phones (including

iPhones, Blackberries and Androids), take over the device, record its every use, movement,and even the sights and sounds of the room it is in. Other companies like Phoenexia in theCzech Republic collaborate with the military to create speech analysis tools. They identifyindividuals by gender, age and stress levels and track them based on „voiceprints . Blue Coatin the U.S. and Ipoque in Germany sell tools to governments in countries like China and Iran
to prevent dissidents from organizing online.
Trovicor, previously a subsidiary of Nokia Siemens Networks, supplied the Bahrainigovernment with interception technologies that tracked human rights activist Abdul Ghani AlKhanjar. He was shown details of personal mobile phone conversations from before he wasinterrogated and beaten in the winter of 2010-2011.
How Mass Surveillance Contractors Share Your Data with the State
In January 2011, the National Security Agency broke ground on a $1.5 billion facility in theUtah desert that is designed to store terabytes of domestic and foreign intelligence dataforever and process it for years to come.
Telecommunication companies are forthcoming when it comes to disclosing clientinformation to the authorities - no matter the country. Headlines during August s unrest in theUK exposed how Research in Motion (RIM), makers of the Blackberry, offered to help thegovernment identify their clients. RIM has been in similar negotiations to share BlackBerryMessenger data with the governments of India, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, and the United ArabEmirates.
Weaponizing Data Kills Innocent People
There are commercial firms that now sell special software that analyze this data and turn itinto powerful tools that can be used by military and intelligence agencies.
For example, in military bases across the U.S., Air Force pilots use a video link and joystick to fly Predator drones to conduct surveillance over the Middle East and Central Asia. Thisdata is available to Central Intelligence Agency officials who use it to fire Hellfire missiles ontargets.
The CIA officials have bought software that allows them to match phone signals and voiceprints instantly and pinpoint the specific identity and location of individuals. Intelligence
Integration Systems, Inc., based in Massachusetts - sells a “location - based analytics” softwarecalled Geospatial Toolkit for this purpose. Another Massachusetts company named Netezza,which bought a copy of the software, allegedly reverse engineered the code and sold a hackedversion to the Central Intelligence Agency for use in remotely piloted drone aircraft.
IISI, which says that the software could be wrong by a distance of up to 40 feet, sued Netezzato prevent the use of this software. Company founder Rich Zimmerman stated in court that his“reaction was one of stun, amazement that they (CIA) want to kill people with my softwarethat doesn t work."

Across the world, mass surveillance contractors are helping intelligence agencies spy onindividuals and „communities of interest on an industrial scale.
The Wikileaks Spy Files reveal the details of which companies are making billions sellingsophisticated tracking tools to government buyers, flouting export rules, and turning a blind
eye to dictatorial regimes that abuse human rights.

By Alice Ritchie| AFP http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5g1hmBkqANZQIpmhu3oY-kKxPgjIQ?docId=CNG.68fcf6470e3486d0144305bd27e4ea93.721
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange launched the website s new project Thursday, the
publication of files it claims shows a global industry that gives dictatorships tools to spy ontheir citizens.
In parallel to Assange s announcement, Wikileaks partner Owni.fr released evidence that aFrench firm helped Moamer Kadhafi s former Libyan regime spy on opposition figures livingin exile in Britain.
It had already been revealed that the electronics firm, Amesys, had worked with the Libyanregime -- and French rights groups are attempting to take the group to court -- but Owni sfiles will prove embarrassing.
They appear to show that a manual provided to Libya to operate a "massive Internetsurveillance" set-up known as the Eagle system included the email addresses and pseudonymsof opposition leaders.
One of them, 74-year-old writer Mahmud Al-Naku, campaigned against Kadhafi in exile andhas now been named his country s ambassador to London by the victorious new former rebelgovernment.
Another figure on the surveillance list was Atia Lawgali, 60, who has since been namedLibya s new minister of culture. Several more Libyan and western figures are on the list,contained in a leaked screenshot.Kadhafi s regime has been accused of sending ag ents to harass and even kill opposition

figures in exile.
Owni also published the user manual provided to the Libyans to operate their Internet spyingsystem, which it boasts can intercept emails and webmail, VOIP calls, instant messages andsearch engine requests.
Contacted by AFP, Amesys said that Libya had been under no trade embargo after 2003, andthat a number of French and international companies had done business with Kadhafi sgovernment.
"Amesys delivered the Libyan authorities equipment and had no control over the use to whichit was put," said the firm, which was bought by the French electronic group Bull in 2010.
The International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH) has lodged a legal complaint overAmesys contract with Libya in a French cou rt, alleging complicity in rights abuses.
The Wikileaks files reveal the activities of about 160 companies in 25 countries whichdevelop technologies to allow the tracking and monitoring of individuals by their mobilephones, email and Internet browsing histories.
"Today we release over 287 files documenting the reality of the international masssurveillance industry -- an industry which now sells equipment to dictators and democraciesalike in order to intercept entire populations," Assange told reporters in London.
He said that in the last 10 years it had grown from a covert industry which primarily suppliedgovernment intelligence agencies such as the NSA in the United States and Britain s GCHQ,to a huge transnational business.
Assange has been in Britain for the past year fighting extradition to Sweden for questioningon allegations of rape and sexual assault, living under tight bail conditions. His case is due tocome up again on Monday.
The documents on the website, http://wikileaks.org/the-spyfiles.html , include manuals forsurveillance products sold to repressive Arab regimes.They have come to light in part from offices ransacked during uprisings in countries such asEgypt and Libya earlier this year, as well as investigative work by WikiLeaks and its mediaand campaigning partners.
"These systems that are revealed in these documents show exactly the kind of systems that theStasi (East Germany s secret police) wished they could have built," said Jacob Appelbaum, aformer WikiLeaks spokesman and computer expert at the University of Washington.
"These systems have been sold by Western companies to places for example like Syria, andLibya and Tunisia and Egypt. These systems are used to hunt people down and to murder."
