!!! Overview[1]
[{$pagename}] is an [National Security Agency] ([NSA]) [SIGINT] program that was first established in [1985|Year 1985], according to NSA documents, and involves tapping into international telecommunications cables, routers, and switches.
The documents, provided in [2013|Year 2013] by the former agency contractor [Edward Snowden], were jointly reviewed by The New York Times and ProPublica.
The [NSA], [AT&T] and [Verizon] declined to discuss the findings from the files. "We don’t comment on matters of [National Security]", an AT&T spokesman said.[2]
In the words of Thomas Drake, a former [NSA] senior executive who blew the whistle on the agency’s reckless spending and invasive surveillance in [2006|Year 2006], [{$pagename}] is the [NSA]’s project to “own the Internet.” [{$pagename}] is what Drake called an “umbrella program.” It incorporates many different operations, such as [BLARNEY], [OAKSTAR], and [STORMBREW] (discussed below), that intercept massive amounts of international Internet [traffic] by various means.[3]
!! What data is collected?
In an email to the Daily Dot, Drake described [{$pagename}] as focused on collecting messages and phone calls at “the main [Internet] backbone links/junctions of the undersea trunk/cable fiber optic systems.” On a slide released by O Globo (presumably depicting [{$pagename}]’s reach), there is an image of what appears to be North America’s submarine cables.
