In the Loop: The NSA wants you to help them party with panache

For many years, the National Security Agency (NSA) was seen as the most secretive of agencies, beyond impenetrable. The joke was that NSA stood for No Such Agency.

Butlongbefore Edward Snowden blew the cover off the joint, the agency had been lightening up. Like other intelligence agencies, the State Department and the White House, NSA has for many decades hada protocol office to handle official events, visitors and such.

We came across a recent agency help-wanted ad for an NSA protocol officer, whose job would be to explain and apply codes and procedures of social behavior, etiquette and ceremony. Yes, you can bean events planner and virtual latter-day Emily Post.

Youll coordinate, plan and organize. . . visits, ceremonies, dinners and conferences. . . And when big-wigs come to the Fort Meade, youll make sure they can get into the building and have security, transportation and special diet.

You have to have the ability to plan/organize/coordinate and do multitasking, thead says, plus,be able to view computer screen continuously for two hours or more and be able to stand, walk, or kneel for long periods. (Kneel?)

If you can meet all those criteria, then pass a drug test, security background investigation and a polygraph,NSA will pay you between $42,631 and $67,787 a year.(Not much for someone with skills like those.)

NSA accused of intercepting emails sent by mobile phone firm employees

The National Security Agency has reportedly intercepted emails sent by employees of mobile operators in an attempt to find security weaknesses in their networks that it could exploit for surveillance purposes.

The US government body has spied on hundreds of companies and organisations, including those in allies such as Britain and Australia, as well as in nations America regards as hostile. It plans to insert flaws into communications systems so that they can be accessed by their operatives.

The allegations, reported by the Intercept, are based on documents provided to the website and contained in material provided to them by Edward Snowden, the whistleblower and former NSA subcontractor who is now living in Russia.

A covert operation called AURORAGOLD that started in 2010, if not earlier, has monitored the content of messages to and from 1,200 email accounts associated with mobile operators to intercept relevant documents, the article states.

By May 2012, the NSA had collected technical data on about 700 of the almost 1,000 mobile networks worldwide.

According to the article, the information collected has been shared with other US intelligence agencies as well as those in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

Very few companies that have been targeted have been identified in the documents, but a map found in one indicated that the NSA had some degree of network coverage in countries on every continent, including Germany and France.

Another of the operations targets has been the GSM Association, the London-based trade body that sets standards for mobile networks around the world.

Its members represent the interests of 800 major mobile, software and internet companies from more than 200 countries and include the likes of Verizon, AT&T, Facebook, Intel, Samsung and Vodafone.
