Google to enlist NSA to help it ward off cyberattacks
Interesting and needs to watched, however with the attacks from China why would our behavior be examined to stop their intrusions?
That’s why this makes one wonder, particularly since Google is filled to the brim with liberals. I don’t hear those anti Bush wiretap people moaning and groaning about this now that their people are in DC do we?
Washington Post | “The world’s largest Internet search company and the world’s most powerful electronic surveillance organization are teaming up in the name of cybersecurity.
Under an agreement that is still being finalized, the National Security Agency would help Google analyze a major corporate espionage attack that the firm said originated in China and targeted its computer networks, according to cybersecurity experts familiar with the matter. The objective is to better defend Google — and its users — from future attack.
Google and the NSA declined to comment on the partnership. But sources with knowledge of the arrangement, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said the alliance is being designed to allow the two organizations to share critical information without violating Google’s policies or laws that protect the privacy of Americans’ online communications. The sources said the deal does not mean the NSA will be viewing users’ searches or e-mail accounts or that Google will be sharing proprietary data.” continued
