ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet

The mass surveillance of the Internet conducted by the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), a British intelligence and security organization, was unlawful, according to a ruling by the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), a secretive court that was created to monitor Britain’s intelligence agencies.

According to the IPT ruling, GCHQ’s access to information, intercepted by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), violated Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to a private and family life. In addition, the GCHQ spying also breached the rights to a fair trial, The Independent reported, adding that the latest court ruling could eventually allow people to ask GCHQ to delete any information.

Un présumé pirate informatique, membre du groupe Lizard Squad, arrêté par la police britannique. Son identité connue depuis novembre !

Vous avez très certainement du entendre parler des Lizard Squad, des “pirates” informatiques ayant décidé de s’amuser pour Noël. Un groupe de “clic and hack” qui a réussi le 25 décembre à bloquer les services en ligne de Microsoft et Sony. Bilan, plus possible pour les joueurs de se connecter au Xbox Live et PSN de Sony.
