Surge of Suspicious Cell Phone Activity Sparks Fear of Massive Communications Intercept Op Being Run in Washington, DC
An unusual amount of highly suspicious cellphone activity in the Washington, D.C., region is fueling concerns that a rogue entity is surveying the communications of numerous individuals, likely including U.S. government officials and foreign diplomats, according to documents viewed by the Washington Free Beacon and conversations with security insiders.I saw Fueling Concerns open for Rogue Entity at Monsters of Metal 98.
A large spike in suspicious activity on a major U.S. cellular carrier has raised red flags in the Department of Homeland Security and prompted concerns that cellphones in the region are being tracked. Such activity could allow pernicious actors to clone devices and other mobile equipment used by civilians and government insiders, according to information obtained by the Free Beacon. It remains unclear who is behind the attacks, but the sophistication and amount of time indicates it could be a foreign nation, sources said. Mass amounts of location data appear to have been siphoned off by a third party who may have control of entire cell phone towers in the area, according to information obtained by the Free Beacon. This information was compiled by a program that monitors cell towers for anomalies supported by DHS and ESD America and known as ESD Overwatch.There's a line in Live Free or Die Hard where the hacker geek "Warlock" says, regarding his CB radio, "Low tech is the new high tech." I hope we'll see some kind of interesting subculture develop where people use old-fashioned communications systems. Including sending physical letters and (get this!) meeting up In Real Life. Not any political point here, just that I think it would be an interesting subculture for me to follow on my RSS feed while telling Siri to send automated sexts to all my Instagram followers. Oh, and by the way, someone walked off with a Secret Service computer capable of accessing Trump Tower floorplans and details of the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Bro, do you even opsec?

Leaving valuables in unlocked cars, is that some kind of Federal training protocol?
The pistol that was used to kill Kate Steinle was stolen from the front seat of a Fed.
Another Fed recently had a fully auto M5 stolen from his car in Concord, CA. Fortunately it is in 10mm, meaning that the Feds are the only ones who can afford ammo for it.

Good point.
I also feel the same with all the intelligence storage when it comes to national security.
Why does all of this need to be online?
I mean some tranny like Bradley Manning can basically clean us out on a thumb drive.
What would be so wrong with classified files being put away like they were 30 years ago?
Much harder to physically break into a secure facility.
The fact that someone a few years out of high school could get a hold of this type of info on his computer at work is in of itself very troubling.

ABC Headline: "Secret Service laptop with Trump Tower floor plans, details on Clinton email probe stolen in New York"
In the body of the article: "The Secret Service did say the stolen laptop itself could not have
contained classified material but could have been used to access such
material on a server."
Geez oh Pete!!!! Any laptop could be used to access classified material. All that's needed is a connection to the gummint network, the appropriate encryption components, the appropriate authentication (i.e. Who is you? And prove that you is really you!) devices and protocols, etc.
This secret service laptop has the encryption and authentication componentry but without a connection to the gummint network or the authentication devices/code/biometrics it's really hard to access the network. Then you have to get into the part of the network containing the data you want.
So, while I fully expect gummint network security to be really horrible, this laptop does NOT contain anything remotely related to TT floor plans or HRC email hacking.
Arrrgghhh I hate news media hype and nonsense.

Some months ago, a delivery truck near my home was involved in an accident, that thoroughly disabled the truck. It was full of half gallons of milk. Pasteurized, but not homogenized, and had not had the cream skimmed off. Really good stuff.
All this milk was immediately donated to the area's churches, food banks, and the local school. The lunch lady at the local school, (who also happens to be the chicken lady that dropped off 7 1/2 dozen eggs this morning), gave us ten gallons of the stuff. I've still got about six gallons of it in the freezer.
It's just taking up room, and what better way to put this milk to good use, than turning into delicious cheddar cheese?
I've read up on the process, and it seems rather straight forward. Temperatures while getting the starter thriving during the curd phase are pretty critical, and I'll have to cob up some kind of make shift cheese press.
I've already got a small mini fridge to ripen it in...I'll have to buy a few things...wax, brush, mesophilic starter, calcium chloride, and rennet. And after the few first critical steps, making cheese seems to consist of simply leaving it alone for a few months.
But..before starting, I thought I'd ask for some advice, and tips...so that I don't end up tossing six gallons of high quality milk in the trash.

But we live in the age of people inviting big brother to watch their lives. If Orwell could have conceived of a portable tracking device that might record you either audio or video wise anytime big brother turned it on he would have imagined this as something the state forced people to wear and rebels finding ways to spoof the devices, leaving them in auditoriums while they met in private hallways or something.
Paying significant monthly fees to allow your every move to be tracked is out of Huxley's Brave New World, where the masses would be conditioned to want the stimulation and would shrug off all concerns about the trading off all privacy because getting their pixels was all that mattered.

Essentially, it is the protocols within the telecommunications system by which phone calls are set up and terminated. It also allows various telephone services like call waiting, call forwarding, caller ID and the like. Variations of SS7 are in use all over the world. I've known about SS7, professionally, for decades.
The thing that puzzles me, is that SS7 is a function that takes place WITHIN the telephone network. It does not extend to the end user's (the "subscriber") equipment, whether that be a regular old POTS line, digital line or cell phone. It happens strictly within the telecom network, from CO to CO, switch to switch, across interoffice trunks and the like. Also, the SS7 signalling takes place "out of band". That is, the control signals that route your calls (along with all the other information they are in such a twist about) do not pass in the same bandwidth as the subscriber's call. So how would a "hacker" get in to the network to download all this information in the first place?
Yes, there have been methods in the past that some people knew about that allowed them to hack into the phone systems. In part, this is why SS7 was created, to prevent that. So to be sure, the telcos have know about these issues for a long time and have taken steps.
Indeed, so far as I know the ONLY entity, aside from the telcos themselves, that have access to the telecom network is, all together now, the Feds. Specifically, the NSA. And yes, that has been known for a very long time.
So maybe some new actor has now gained access, but I frankly would have to see the details, the gun camera film, as it were, to believe it, especially in these days of "fake news", D-rat "dezinformatsia" and the like...

Zip Drives started with 100 MB disks, then 250 MB. Jaz drives were a whopping 1 GB, an amazing amount for disk based storage in 1996. I've got a SCSI to USB adapter, and it works fine even on a modern OS.
I could also just do encryption on something like a USB drive, but I like retro tech, and it gives me an excuse to use it.

On one hand, our freedoms necessitate it, and most of the people enjoying those freedoms do not want to see them go away, or at least don't want to see the convenience and comfort consequent to the freedom go away.
On the other hand, modern travel and the internet have made the world an exceedingly small place heavily reliant on well-understood systems where a handful of people taking advantage of that can cause a large amount of mayhem very quickly and without telegraphing their intent.
We think of this in terms of kinetic terror but there's an awful lot of damage that can be done without actively murdering noncombatants.
There are very smart people working on these issues but it's only going to create more tension between liberty and security. If the fringe-libertarians and anti-military-industrial-complex progressives are already having fits, just wait for it, we've not yet begun to wrestle with these issues.
And ultimately, the bad guys are still going to score points, a lot of them, for the same reason we'll see more Enron situations in our lifetime - someone with a profit motive, or fanatical passion for a nation or religion, or something that lights a fire in their belly, will eventually outcycle a bureaucrat who punches in and out believing he's smart enough to define every necessary and possible constraint on creative and excited human minds.
There is no solution, this is just part of living with other people. But as we grow more accustomed to a wired, integrated, on-demand world, the number of gaps in our defenses will rise correspondingly, as each of these new systems will have its own weaknesses, and people will be more aware of their helplessness because the wide array of weaknesses will invite probing or attack closer to home.
I don't think it's really dawned on most Americans yet - the OPM hack, Yahoo!, Target, Anthem, eBay, JPMC, Adobe, etc. etc. - these huge data breaches are barely scratching the surface in terms of vulnerabilities available and efforts to exploit them. When you take into consideration the amount of non-hardened infrastructure we're dependent on, not just the data but the physical systems themselves, utilities and highways and mass transit and so on, it's pretty staggering how exposed we are.
Tremendous ramble off of a short post but it really is an interesting topic, and should encourage some healthy anxiety in our friends and neighbors.

Used to be, a lot of affluent lefty communities were cellular dead spots because the communist cocksucker NIMBYs wouldn't let the carriers put up antennas or towers.
Example: Back in '01 I spent a week in Burlington, VT working with one of the cell carriers. Total cellular dead spot. Had to drive out of town to get a decent signal. When I met local lower-middleclass residents and mentioned that I was working telecom, they'd BEG me to do something about the shitty cell service.

So, we have 17 intelligence agencies and none of them knows who's doing this?
--
Well, each of those agencies is spying on the other 16. That takes a lot of time.
Also... some are spying for the DNC, some are doing it for Soros/Deep State, some are double agents for foreign governments, and some are just hanging out, surfing kiddie porn and waiting to retire.
That being said, of course there's confusion.

These "interceptor" towers became available to the various agencies of Fedzilla, and they all started buying and using them for their own snooping purposes (both international counterintelligence and domestic law enforcement use).
The situation wasn't ever adequately documented or interagency-coordinated. And hence rapidly got out of hand, with interference and whatnot, to the point where Uncle Sugar had to commission an actual census of the interceptor towers operating in high-density areas. To then walk back the cat to determine which of Uncle's own departments owned and operated each one.
It turned out that a couple of the interceptor towers in question could not be traced back to any known federal entity. And were presumably operated either by other nation-states' intelligence establishments, or by non-state actors, including, potentially, organized crime outfits.
Of course, because this accounting was performed during the Shit Midas administration, nothing at all seems to have been done then, or since.

Even all the way back to the original heyday of CB in the Seventies, "national technical means" extended to orbital sigint platforms which would voraciously snork up every last tiny analog signal they heard from a terrestrial source.
The problem back then was filtering and prioritization.
Deciding what to focus upon and keep as a recording, because the technology just wasn't there at the time to digitize and bulk-store every random casual conversation crossing the airwaves. Much less to index and search the contents of same.
That's not a problem any longer.

It says "containing floor plans for Trump Tower, details on the criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and other national security information..." I can understand a Secret Service Agent having floor plans to Trump Tower. Trump lived there, Melania still lives there, etc. But why would anyone in the Secret Service have details on the the
criminal use of Hillary Clinton's private email server? How is that an
issue for the Secret Service?
This woman does not seem to be high enough in the department to be overly concerned with Hillary's emails. She lives in Brooklyn. Fricking Brooklyn.

I worked with their techs when I was still with AT&T. One notable night, we were migrating traffic to some new equipment, about two dozen T1's...which we'd spent laboriously busying out over the prior week, by jacking each channel as they went idle, (and yes, we could listen to all your phone conversations...we didn't though, they were boring).
Outgoing to Bell were all idled on the night in question, but we were still seeing traffic from Bell. When we announced our readiness to roll each T1 to it's new circuit, the associated incoming T1 from Bell, which was live at the time, went dark. They just simply pulled the plug on them...when pressed about this, we were told by their techs that since these were all long distance....their customers would just blame AT&T.
