The NSA’s Advanced Network Technology catalogue happened to be just one of the many classified documents that were leaked by Snowden, and in this catalogue, it depicts a list as well as devices which NSA agents rely on in order to eavesdrop on a particular target’s computer or phone. Some of these technologies would include fake base stations that will hijack and monitor cellphone calls, as well as radio-equipped USB sticks which can transmit a computer’s contents.
Now that some folks out there know how the leaked NSA bugs function, it is time to figure out a way to prevent such bugs from working effectively upon the unknowing populace. Does this mean we could be staring at more secure hardware in the future?
