監(jiān)聽默克爾的手機(jī)？

????包括巴西總統(tǒng)迪爾瑪?羅塞夫、法國總統(tǒng)弗朗索瓦?奧朗德和德國總理安吉拉?默克爾在內(nèi)的各國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人普遍對美國在各國家開展監(jiān)控表示憤慨。怒火中燒的默克爾更是氣憤至極，她要求奧巴馬總統(tǒng)就她的手機(jī)也一直受到監(jiān)聽這一說法做出解釋。白宮發(fā)言人杰?卡爾尼對此回應(yīng)稱：“總統(tǒng)請總理放心，美國目前沒有，今后也不會監(jiān)聽總理的通信信息?！?/p>

利用云和緩存

????陸續(xù)浮出水面的泄密文件顯示，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)巨頭不斷存儲并追蹤用戶數(shù)據(jù)，欲罷不能。國安局則找到了利用谷歌和雅虎公司私有云的路子——據(jù)《華盛頓郵報》稱，它在一個月內(nèi)從用戶賬戶中恢復(fù)了181,280,466條記錄（而這兩大公司都否認(rèn)允許國安局進(jìn)入各自的系統(tǒng)）。

????而谷歌的“PREF”緩存也讓國安局垂涎欲滴。這種緩存能識別用戶的瀏覽器，同時提供個性化的廣告。《郵報》在后來的報道中稱：“除了能追蹤網(wǎng)絡(luò)訪問情況，這種緩存還能讓國安局在海量的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)數(shù)據(jù)中挑出個人通訊記錄，以便發(fā)送能黑掉特定電腦的軟件?！?/p>

傷風(fēng)敗俗的業(yè)務(wù)

????構(gòu)陷那些被國安局視為“激進(jìn)分子”的辦法是——記錄他們?yōu)g覽色情網(wǎng)站的行為。

????《赫芬頓郵報》（Huffington Post）的格倫?格林沃爾德，賴安?加拉格爾和賴安?格里姆報道稱：“國安局列出的漏洞中，有兩點(diǎn)可能被有效利用：‘在網(wǎng)上瀏覽明顯與性有關(guān)的內(nèi)容’以及‘與涉世未深的年輕女孩交流時使用明顯帶有性引誘意味的語言’?！?/p>

通過手機(jī)追蹤位置數(shù)據(jù)

????每天國安局會從每個人的家里，或從商務(wù)會議、酒店客房和醫(yī)生診室那里收集幾十億條個人手機(jī)上的位置數(shù)據(jù)。

????巴頓?杰爾曼和阿斯坎?索爾塔尼在《華盛頓郵報》上寫道：“收集、分析位置數(shù)據(jù)的規(guī)模、范圍和對隱私權(quán)的潛在影響可能在6月以來披露的國安局監(jiān)控項(xiàng)目中無出其右。分析師可以找到全球任何地方的手機(jī)，追蹤它們的行動軌跡，揭示這些手機(jī)用戶的潛在關(guān)系。”（財富中文網(wǎng)）

Tapping Merkel's cell?

????World leaders including Brazil's Dilma Rousseff, French president Fran?ois Hollande, and Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel bristled at reports of U.S. surveillance efforts in their respective countries. An incensed Merkel took her complaints to the top, calling on President Obama to address allegations that her own cell phone had been tapped. In response, "The president assured the chancellor that the United States is not monitoring and will not monitor the communications of the chancellor," White House spokesman Jay Carney said.

Using clouds and cookies

????The allure of user data stored and tracked by major Internet companies continued to surface in leaked documents. The NSA found ways to tap into the private clouds of Google and Yahoo -- retrieving in a single month as many as 181,280,466 records from user accounts, theWashington Post reported. (Both companies denied giving the NSA access to their systems.)

????Google "PREF" cookies, which can help identify a user's web browser and serve up personalized ads, have also enticed the NSA. "In addition to tracking web visits, this cookie allows NSA to single out an individual's communications among the sea of Internet data in order to send out software that can hack that person's computer," the Post reported in a later story.

Risqué business

????One method for undermining those deemed "radicalizers" by the NSA? Document their online porn habits.

????From Glenn Greenwald, Ryan Gallagher, and Ryan Grim in the Huffington Post: "Among the vulnerabilities listed by the NSA that can be effectively exploited are 'viewing sexually explicit material online' and 'using sexually explicit persuasive language when communicating with inexperienced young girls.' "

Tracking location data via cell phones

????From a person's home or from business meetings, hotel rooms and doctors' offices, the NSA is collecting billions of records a day on the cell phone locations of individuals.

????"In scale, scope and potential impact on privacy, the efforts to collect and analyze location data may be unsurpassed among the NSA surveillance programs that have been disclosed since June," wrote Barton Gellman and Ashkan Soltani in the Washington Post. "Analysts can find cell phones anywhere in the world, retrace their movements and expose hidden relationships among the people using them."
