“PHONETICALLY SPEAKING” To reflect the fast pace of world news, my blog is probably best served as a stream-of-consciousness text. Fast and unadulterated. With this approach, and on first encounter, text might not seem to scan. This is because I am dyslexic. Instead of keeping the proof-readers busy, I would rather let my blog updates of my visual work stand as a record of my experience of dyslexia, which I am keen that you now get to enjoy too. Unlike some news outlets, I hereby excuse myself the need for a ‘corrections’ section! The excitement of a new language is something I’m quite familiar with, and it is with this ‘joie de vivre’ that I am delighted to guide you through my thought and work processes, more phonetically (than fanatically) speaking.
Fown hacking Mark II
More than 20 fake Stingray masts, discovered in London. Unknown owners and operators of these telephone masks snooping on the users. The unaware public are getting their data harvested. If they fall into the net of the mask. It’s like a giant commercial trawler sweeping of everyone who happens to go into it.
Privacy International deputy director Eric King told Sky
“With [Stingray] IMSI catchers, it’s very difficult for them to be used in a targeted manner.”
“In an urban space, thousands of people’s mobile phones would be swept up in that dragnet. What they do with that data, we don’t know.
“We know police have been using them for years, but this is the first time that it’s been shown that they’re being deployed in the UK,” he added.
Police told Sky they could not confirm whether their officers used the technology. Giving away any information would only “benefit the other side,”
National Crime Agency Director General Keith Bristow told Sky News: “Frankly, some of what we need to do is intrusive, it is uncomfortable, and the important thing is we set that out openly and recognize there are difficult choices to be made.”
So, if this is not them acknowledging they are spying on us, I don’t know what is. But don’t worry we won’t mention this to the criminals. They do not expect anything, it is not like they use burner phones, or every Italian Mafia film uses payphones. To get around this little issue.
What would be interesting to know is what they’re doing with all the data, business calls, personal calls, what you are looking at on your phone all information which is quite valuable. But it’s all for the greater good and we should just trust them.
