WikiLeaks Cables Foreshadow Russian Instigation of Ukrainian Military Action

Posted on by

Now that Russia has sent troops to seize the Crimean Peninsula, international politics are tense and frantic. An anonymous reader notes an article from Joshua Keating at Slate, which points out that some of the diplomatic cables on WikiLeaks illustrate how this situation is not at all unexpected. Quoting a cable from October, 2009: "... pro-Russian forces in Crimea, acting with funding and direction from Moscow, have systematically attempted to increase communal tensions in Crimea in the two years since the Orange Revolution. They have done so by cynically fanning ethnic Russian chauvinism towards Crimean Tatars and ethnic Ukrainians, through manipulation of issues like the status of the Russian language, NATO, and an alleged Tatar threat to 'Slavs,' in a deliberate effort to destabilize Crimea, weaken Ukraine, and prevent Ukraine's movement west into institutions like NATO and the EU." The article points out another cable from a few days later, which was titled, "Ukraine-Russia: Is Military Conflict No Longer Unthinkable?"

This Anti-NSA T-Shirt Angered Some People At A Huge Computer Security Conference (EMC)

Posted on by

One of the world's largest conferences for computer security professionals took place last week in San Francisco, the RSA Conference. And it was held under the shadow of Edward Snowden's revelations of NSA spying. Emotions about the scandal were running high at this conference in particular. The computer security professionals that attend are the people trying to keep their companies safe from prying eyes. And the company for which the show is named, RSA, was found to be working with the NSA. RSA is a security unit owned by EMC that makes encryption technology, the kind of tech that is supposed to make your computer safe from hackers and spies. The NSA paid RSA $10 million to influence the default method of encryption used in a popular RSA product, documents leaked by Edward Snowden revealed. The implication is that the NSA could break into computers and read documents, even if the data was encrypted. During his keynote speech, RSAs executive chairman, Arthur Coviello Jr., went off-script to address the allegations, The Times' Nicole Perlroth reports. He said:

Has RSA done work with the N.S.A.? Yes. But the fact has been a matter of public record for nearly a decade."

There are many of us at AT&T who are disturbed by what weve been hearing about the N.S.A., this person said. But when you see that, he said, pointing to the T-shirts, a conversation becomes impossible.
