Govt Sponsored Computer Attacks?

[xpl0iter]

What do you think about this? I don't think we have given the right to the govt to come and sneak upon us without our permission. This is very nasty even if our govt is doing this to other countries' people. People have rights and govt shouldn't interfere with it.

Anyway I saw this news: Google is now warning its users about this.

BTW Did you know that Stuxnet - "One of the most menacing malware" was developed by US and Israel for leaking the govt official informations and other secret stuffs from other countries.But then what happened? They lost the control over the virus and it began to spread. The last place they had the control over the virus was Iranian nuclear facility!

It has been going on for years in one form or another. Certain keywords we type are said to automatically trigger alerts among spy/security agencies/listening stations. That is one way they catch the bad guys. Some would say there are better ways to tackle security issues rather than using covert surveillance across the board.
