Requiring U.S. federal agents to have “probable cause” to
eavesdrop on the internet activities of American citizens poses a
direct threat to national security and would force the FBI to
stand by while terrorist plots unfold on U.S. soil, according to a
leaked copy of talking points distributed to Senate lawmakers this
month.<br>

Thailand’s largest cell network AIS has pulled a database offline
that was spilling billions of real-time internet records on
millions of Thai internet users.<br>
<br>
Security researcher Justin Paine said in a blog post that he found
the database, containing DNS queries and Netflow data, on the
internet without a password. With access to this database, Paine
said that anyone could “quickly paint a picture” about what an
internet user (or their household) does in real-time.<br>
