Today Kamkar released the schematics and code for a device he calls PoisonTap a tiny USB dongle that whether plugged into a locked or unlocked PC installs a set of backdoors that in many cases allow an attacker to gain access to the online accounts corporate intranet sites or even their router.

One solution Kamkar proposes would be for operating systems to ask permission before they connect to a new network device like PoisonTap instead of silently switching over from trusted Wifi.

Or they can close their browser every time they step away from their computer assiduously clear its cache or even take the more drastic measure of filling their USB ports with glue.

Coincidentally Wired just published a lengthy interview with Clapper that covered his thoughts on the morality of espionage in general and Internet surveillance in particular.

The principal Christopher Soghoian says that while office has started a Tumblr and pushed to declassify some significant historical the drone casualty report and pages of a government investigation that dealt with Saudi role in financing and coordinating the has yet to make public or confirm the existence of a single surveillance program or tool not exposed by Snowden.

In March months before Snowden provided the Guardian and the Washington Post with voluminous NSA data documenting sweeping domestic and international communications dragnets Clapper had a public colloquy with Senator Ron Wyden an Oregon Democrat on the intelligence committee.

Litt would also say that Clapper finds open hearings a requirement of congressional oversight as annoying as folding fitted sheets citing a distinctive turn of phrase used by his boss.

As resignation became public two intelligence committee members independent Angus King of Maine and Republican James Lankford of Oklahoma wrote to Trump to urge the to prioritize the selection of replacement.

The Investigatory Powers Bill cleared its final hurdle in the House of Lords on Wednesday afternoon when peers agreed to stop a proposed press intrusion amendment between the lower and upper chambers of the Palace of Westminster.
