Let's back up for a minute, this person was a NSA contractor who was prosecuted, clear and evident. But what happened to the other situations I named in the message before. For example, William "Bill" Binney (ThinThread), he worked for NSA for almost 30 years, he developed an application called ThinThread, they did not use the application during the 911 attacks. He informed them that of the controls they were taking off, this action of removing the controls would affect the lives of people everywhere in America and beyond. He informed his executive staff members, management, he followed proper protocol. Instead of the group, talking to him and giving him the respect he deserves, they put him in-front of a gun when he tried to tell them that the controls that were in place to protect the rights of American citizens (they continued to violate the law).
Now the other examples I used was basically saying how can this US Atty say something like this with a pompus attitude when they have been violating the rights of American Citizens even now (Illegal Drag Net Surveillance Programs like XKeyScore, Prism, etc.). Is he going to jail because he knows along with Congress that they have been violating the rights of American Citizens, yours and mine?
Don't get me wrong, when the person is wrong and they have violated the rights of Ameircan citizens, then yes, send them to jail. But the Feds are violating the rigths of US citizens right now using the Fisa courts to force companies like Quest, Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, AWS and others by issuing warrants (not one time have they not issued a warrant) under the auspices of National Security. So when are the Feds going to be accountable for their own actions, when are individuals from Congress going to be prosecuted (they were the one's who authorized its purchase and use). When are the deaths of innocent civilans going to be brought to court?
So who is prosecuting the people using mass surveillance to attack and thwart peaceful groups like "Black Lives Matter", "Indian Groups", "Unarmed Black People". When are they going to use the laws to prosecute the "KKK" and "Nazi followers" and the hate groups that are associated with millions of deaths.
Everything You Need to Know About DNS AttacksIt's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask.
Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted.
Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic

Interesting that they say this with Prism, XKeyscore, Facia, Informant and other programs that are violating the rights of individuals all across the globe (congress approved this when the budget goes above 3 million dollars, so they knew about it). In America, the federal government has been violating the rights of American Citizens (1st - 5th Amendment rights) from the beginning of time,
I am not sure that I should be surprised but this is amazing he would say something like this. They are taking the lives of innocent personnel around the world when they go after terrorists; what happens to accountability and the value we put on human life. Look at what happened to William Binney (ThinThread), Thomas Drake (TrailBlazer), Kirk Wiebe (Trailblazer and Thinthread) and Edward Snowden (Prism, Xkeystore), they were indicted under the Espionage act and one they are still after (Mr. Snowden).
I have been saying this for years, when are we going to start looking at the injustices that have been going on for years and when is someone going to say, we have been violating human rights and citizens who have nothing to do with terrorist acts (I am not even going to mention what is going on in the US with Indians and African Americans). It is astounding that this continues to happen and we continue to show a blind eye, we see this in our own back yard.
