NSA says there are three different PRISMs

Gambar
(Updated: July 28, 2013) Yesterday, German media wrote about an official letter from the NSA, which was sent to the German government to clarify some misconceptions about PRISM. This because German media and politics were heavily confused after it became clear that there's more than one program named PRISM. The NSA letter explains what the PRISM data collection program is about and then confirms that this program is different from a more common military web tool called "Planning tool for Resource Integration, Synchronization and Management" (PRISM). Surprisingly, the NSA also reveals that there's even a third program called PRISM. In this case the name stands for "Portal for Real-time Information Sharing and Management" and it's apparently an internal NSA information sharing program. It was unknown until now, probably because it's used in the NSA's highly sensitive Information Assurance Directorate (IAD). Initially: two different PRISMs Almost im...

So, I was working on Scala with Play Framework for some time now. I have to compile the source code provided by the client from time to time and I have faced this issue nearly everytime whenever I use a new developer machine. When I run the "play clean", "play update", "play compile" or the "play run" command on the provided project, I get the error as  sbt.ResolveException: download failed: org.slf4j#slf4j-api;1.6.6!slf4j-api.jar . Below is a screenshot of this error message: I tried a bunch of ways to solve this issue, but only one method seems to work. The first thing you need to do is edit the /project/plugins.sbt file and add the latest version of  sbt-plugin in the  addSbtPlugin section. Now, delete the ivy directory present at  ~/.ivy2 Then, go ahead and delete the below mentioned files: <path to Play Framework home directory>/ .sbt.ivy.lock <path to Play Framework home directory>/cache/org.slf4j <path to Play Framework ho...

Gambar
(Updated: November 30, 2014) Over the last month, the publication of various slides of a powerpoint presentation about the top secret NSA collection program PRISM caused almost worldwide media attention. Less known is that a number of new slides about other NSA collection programs were published on July 6 by the Brazilian newspaper O Globo . These and a few other slides were also shown on Brazilian televion, combined with an interview with Guardian-columnist Glenn Greenwald , who lives in Rio de Janeiro. Screenshots of some of the slides shown on Brazilian television became available on Flickr (see Links and Sources). On July 21, the German magazine Der Spiegel published some extra details about the XKEYSCORE program. - FAIRVIEW-slides - FORNSAT-slide - PRISM-slides - XKEYSCORE-slides - FAIRVIEW-slides Brazilian television and the O Globo website presented a whole new series of four slides from what seems to be a presentation about the FAIRVIEW program or maybe the broader "...

New insights into the PRISM program

Gambar
(Updated: January 21, 2016) Last Saturday, June 29, the Washington Post unexpectedly disclosed four new slides from the powerpoint presentation about the PRISM data collection program. This disclosure came as a surprise, because earlier, Guardian-journalist Glenn Greenwald said that no more slides would be published because they contain very specific technical NSA means for collection, for which The Guardian would probably be prosecuted. That The Washington Post now disclosed them, is even more surprising, not only because it's an American paper, but also because it's said that Edward Snowden initially went to The Post asking to publish all 41 slides of the PRISM presentation. But The Washington Post refused to do so and therefore Snowden gave the scoop to The Guardian, which published the first four slides. It's not clear who exactly released the four new slides, whether it was Snowden himself or editors of The Washington Post, and what the reason was for doing it. Allth...
