Ein Carnivore fuer Indien-.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- von Bruce Sterling, einem Member der Nettime Community. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- Email users beware, Big Brother is watching SIDDHARTH SRIVASTAVA TIMES NEWS NETWORK NEW DELHI: The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has prepared a list of new keywords that are to be used to intercept mails emanating from IP addresses in India. The move comes after investigations have revealed that Mohammad alias 'Burger,' who led the Parliament attack, was in constant touch with his counterparts in Pakistan as well as within India through email. A laptop has been recovered from the terrorists as well, the contents of which are under investigation. The IB earlier reported that terrorists connected to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish are tech-savvy. Till now, the IB had concentrated more on email IDs with reference to obvious giveaways such as Kashmir, Lashkar, Pakistan, Musharraf etc. For example, an email ID such as Lashkar@hotmail.com should be under the surveillance of the IB. The IB has now gone further and prepared a new list of keywords used in the copy of mails that will be intercepted. The system works like this: A software filters mails that repeatedly use the words that the IB has shortlisted. The more obvious keywords would include Jaish, Kashmir, Lashkar. Others are attack, kill, rocket. Mails with repeated reference to Arab names will also be under surveillance. Emails that carry names of Indian political leaders will also be under surveillance. However, the software can't decipher code words since they can be common words. Interestingly, the CIA is using the same software with a good success rate. (((Hey spookwalla! That's *NSA,* okay? Not the CIA! The NSA is the one with all the mathematicians.))) "The task of monitoring such mails is humungous. Hence, for now, we will be monitoring mails that have several references to the keywords that we have identified," says a senior IB official. According to the official: "The IB is the only Indian intelligence Agency that has the ability to intercept mails. None of the other agencies involved in investigationsthe Delhi Police, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Research and Analysis Wing (RAW)have the ability to intercept mails. Only the CIA has similar capabilities." (((So how'd the IB get those "similar capabilities"? - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- edited by Harkank published on: 2001-12-25 comments to office@quintessenz.at subscribe Newsletter - -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.-
