KEK! I just discovered it too. I put a placemark at post 477 then went to the beginning to catch up. I've started to feel like, maybe, I was in before 100.
I'm donating to the freepathon for May in appreciation of the Q threads.
NSA Reports 75% Increase in Unmasking U.S. Identities Under Foreign Surveillance Law in 2018
Been working overtime. Got sealed indictments?
FTA: The National Security Agency revealed to federal agencies the identities of almost 17,000 U.S. residents or corporations whose information was collected under a foreign surveillance law in 2018, registering about a 75% increase in unmaskings over the previous year, according to an annual transparency report released Tuesday.
In 2018, NSA said it unmasked 16,721 U.S. identities caught up in intelligence intercepts produced by a foreign intelligence law, (FISA works both ways?) the report said. It unmasked 9,529 in 2017 and 9,217 in a 12-month period across 2015 and 2016.
The surge in the number of unmaskings last year was fueled in part by an effort to determine the identities of victims of cyberattacks from foreign intelligence agencies, (5 eyes?) according to Alex Joel, head of civil liberties and transparency at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence which released Tuesdays report.
I made my May donation to the freepathon this morning. I hope everyone will make a May Day donation to thank Jim.
