Snowden Docs Expose How the NSA "Infects" Millions of Computers, Impersonates Facebook Server | Democracy Now!



 New disclosures from Edward Snowden show the NSA
is massively expanding its computer hacking worldwide. Software that
automatically hacks into computers — known as malware "implants" — had
previously been kept to just a few hundred targets. But the news website
The Intercept reports that the NSA is
spreading the software to millions of computers under an automated
system codenamed "Turbine." The Intercept has also revealed the NSA
has masqueraded as a fake Facebook server to infect a target’s computer
and exfiltrate files from a hard drive. We are joined by The Intercept
reporter Ryan Gallagher.
