Summary:
So, the C.I.A. has a back door to your phone. At least, according to the Vault 7 data dump from WikiLeaks.
The documentsas yet unprovensay that if your device is connected to the internet, the American government wants in. And has a few tricky tools to do it.
But theyve had some sneaky tools for a while now. Just ask Daniel Rigmaiden.
In 2008, Rigmaiden was arrested for filing fraudulent tax returns. And he couldnt figure out how he was caught. He was careful. He stayed anonymous online, he used pre-paid debit cards and fake IDs. So he developed what his attorneys thought was a pretty crazy theory about government surveillance. And it turned out he was right.
This week we revisit Daniels story. What he uncovered was more than a theoryit was a balancing act. The technology the government used to catch him was hidden to allegedly keep us safe. If criminals didn't know about it, they wouldn't be able to hack it.
But does that secrecy actually open us up to other dangers? We hear from Nate Freed Wessler, staff attorney with the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, about a movement to give us a bigger say in how law enforcement does surveillance. Because things are moving fast.
