UK Police to Hack Home Computers Without Warrants
- Text size
David Leppard
Times Online
January 5, 2008
The Home Office has quietly adopted a new plan to allow police across Britain routinely to hack into people’s personal computers without a warrant.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
The move, which follows a decision by the European Union’s council of ministers in Brussels, has angered civil liberties groups and opposition MPs. They described it as a sinister extension of the surveillance state which drives “a coach and horses” through privacy laws.
The hacking is known as “remote searching”. It allows police or MI5 officers who may be hundreds of miles away to examine covertly the hard drive of someone’s PC at his home, office or hotel room.
Material gathered in this way includes the content of all e-mails, web-browsing habits and instant messaging.
Under the Brussels edict, police across the EU have been given the green light to expand the implementation of a rarely used power involving warrantless intrusive surveillance of private property. The strategy will allow French, German and other EU forces to ask British officers to hack into someone’s UK computer and pass over any material gleaned.

yeah, we’re really getting shafted in UK (say it like this, Uck). CCTV in most streets. Hacking our computers. Thumb-scanning our children in schools. McD life-styles of the unfit and shameless.
Why? Why? Why?
January 5th, 2009 at 9:15 am
these people are enemies of freedom and human god given rights to liberty and free will. they want us all enslaved, we must resist these policy changes. typical they don’t even try change the law anymore. they just issue a direct order circumventing all the peoples representation and their will. for this reason alone the EU is evil. they are ruling by dictate and not by the will of the people. counter to the false perception of the world by the masses, these new world order freaks behind the UN, EU etc, do not have our best interests at heart, in fact they have our worst interests at heart, they will see us all decimated and worse only to totally enslave the rest of us if we let them.

Unite, that’s funny, they can’t unite, they are like gangsters they can’t unite, and why must they unite, hackers do better on their own anyways, that part of hacking. Why don’t you, the guy who said unite learn how to hack? Oh yeah because by the time you’ve learned what you will need to complete what it is you want to do you will be so out of touch with the rest of the world that you probably wouldn’t remember why you learned in the first place.
Someone said emp blast, well you should know that all the government computers I’ve worked on are protected from all that stuff, and power outages also so cutting the power wouldn’t do nothing either, they’ve thought of everything you might want to do to stop them, that’s why it’s better to just leave it in Yahweh’s hands! Besides they’re already in your computer right now!!

This is already happening in the US. Look up ipto, gandalf, echelon, operation garden plot, operation red sky. Googling will get you hacked quickest. Sometime a car shows up and does the dirty work. Some are really good, others not so quick. I am a nurse and can normally undo their dirty deeds on the screen. Give them heck and have a little fun with it. They are particularily sensitive about HAARP strangedaysstrangeskies on chemtrails and hate: satanic murals and symbols denver airport. centerforglobalresearch explains who and what so know your enemy.

Our PCs are hacked by Gov. only because we have allowed it to continue!
January 5th, 2009 at 11:07 am
this is absolute bullshit, the people shouldnt stand for it, horsepiss. This is so obviously unconstitutional and against liberty and human rights
January 5th, 2009 at 11:29 am
unconstitutional . lol. it’s not the usa. lol
but everything else you said, RIGHT ON

Words worthy of consideration…
Live Not By Lies
By Alexander Solzhenitsyn
As printed in The Washington Post, p. A26
Monday, February 18, 1974
Following is the full text of Alexander Solzhenitsyn’s essay “Live Not By Lies.” It is perhaps the last thing he wrote on his native soil [before the collapse of the Soviet Union] and circulated among Moscow’s intellectuals [at that time]. The essay is dated Feb. 12, the day that secret police broke into his apartment and arrested him. The next day he was exiled to West Germany.
At one time we dared not even to whisper. Now we write and read samizdat, and sometimes when we gather in the smoking room at the Science Institute we complain frankly to one another: What kind of tricks are they playing on us, and where are they dragging us? gratuitous boasting of cosmic achievements while there is poverty and destruction at home. Propping up remote, uncivilized regimes. Fanning up civil war. And we recklessly fostered Mao Tse-tung at our expense– and it will be we who are sent to war against him, and will have to go. Is there any way out? And they put on trial anybody they want and they put sane people in asylums–always they, and we are powerless.
Things have almost reached rock bottom. A universal spiritual death has already touched us all, and physical death will soon flare up and consume us both and our children–but as before we still smile in a cowardly way and mumble without tounges tied. But what can we do to stop it? We haven’t the strength?
We have been so hopelessly dehumanized that for today’s modest ration of food we are willing to abandon all our principles, our souls, and all the efforts of our predecessors and all opportunities for our descendants–but just don’t disturb our fragile existence. We lack staunchness, pride and enthusiasm. We don’t even fear universal nuclear death, and we don’t fear a third world war. We have already taken refuge in the crevices. We just fear acts of civil courage.
We fear only to lag behind the herd and to take a step alone-and suddenly find ourselves without white bread, without heating gas and without a Moscow registration.
We have been indoctrinated in political courses, and in just the same way was fostered the idea to live comfortably, and all will be well for the rest of our lives. You can’t escape your environment and social conditions. Everyday life defines consciousness. What does it have to do with us? We can’t do anything about it?
But we can–everything. But we lie to ourselves for assurance. And it is not they who are to blame for everything-we ourselves, only we. One can object: But actually toy can think anything you like. Gags have been stuffed into our mouths. Nobody wants to listen to us and nobody asks us. How can we force them to listen? It is impossible to change their minds.
It would be natural to vote them out of office-but there are not elections in our country. In the West people know about strikes and protest demonstrations-but we are too oppressed, and it is a horrible prospect for us: How can one suddenly renounce a job and take to the streets? Yet the other fatal paths probed during the past century by our bitter Russian history are, nevertheless, not for us, and truly we don’t need them.
Now that the axes have done their work, when everything which was sown has sprouted anew, we can see that the young and presumptuous people who thought they would make out country just and happy through terror, bloody rebellion and civil war were themselves misled. No thanks, fathers of education! Now we know that infamous methods breed infamous results. Let our hands be clean!
The circle–is it closed? And is there really no way out? And is there only one thing left for us to do, to wait without taking action? Maybe something will happen by itself? It will never happen as long as we daily acknowledge, extol, and strengthen–and do not sever ourselves from–the most perceptible of its aspects: Lies.
When violence intrudes into peaceful life, its face glows with self-confidence, as if it were carrying a banner and shouting: “I am violence. Run away, make way for me–I will crush you.” But violence quickly grows old. And it has lost confidence in itself, and in order to maintain a respectable face it summons falsehood as its ally–since violence lays its ponderous paw not every day and not on every shoulder. It demands from us only obedience to lies and daily participation in lies–all loyalty lies in that.
And the simplest and most accessible key to our self-neglected liberation lies right here: Personal non-participation in lies. Though lies conceal everything, though lies embrace everything, but not with any help from me.
This opens a breach in the imaginary encirclement caused by our inaction. It is the easiest thing to do for us, but the most devastating for the lies. Because when people renounce lies it simply cuts short their existence. Like an infection, they can exist only in a living organism.
We do not exhort ourselves. We have not sufficiently matured to march into the squares and shout the truth our loud or to express aloud what we think. It’s not necessary.
It’s dangerous. But let us refuse to say that which we do not think.
This is our path, the easiest and most accessible one, which takes into account out inherent cowardice, already well rooted. And it is much easier–it’s dangerous even to say this–than the sort of civil disobedience which Gandhi advocated.
Our path is to talk away fro the gangrenous boundary. If we did not paste together the dead bones and scales of ideology, if we did not sew together the rotting rags, we would be astonished how quickly the lies would be rendered helpless and subside.
That which should be naked would then really appear naked before the whole world.
So in our timidity, let each of us make a choice: Whether consciously, to remain a servant of falsehood–of course, it is not out of inclination, but to feed one’s family, that one raises his children in the spirit of lies–or to shrug off the lies and become an honest man worthy of respect both by one’s children and contemporaries.
And from that day onward he:
Will not henceforth write, sign, or print in any way a single phrase which in his opinion distorts the truth.
Will utter such a phrase neither in private conversation not in the presence of many people, neither on his own behalf not at the prompting of someone else, either in the role of agitator, teacher, educator, not in a theatrical role.
Will not depict, foster or broadcast a single idea which he can only see is false or a distortion of the truth whether it be in painting, sculpture, photography, technical science, or music.
Will not cite out of context, either orally or written, a single quotation so as to please someone, to feather his own nest, to achieve success in his work, if he does not share completely the idea which is quoted, or if it does not accurately reflect the matter at issue.
Will not allow himself to be compelled to attend demonstrations or meetings if they are contrary to his desire or will, will neither take into hand not raise into the air a poster or slogan which he does not completely accept.
Will not raise his hand to vote for a proposal with which he does not sincerely sympathize, will vote neither openly nor secretly for a person whom he considers unworthy or of doubtful abilities.
Will not allow himself to be dragged to a meeting where there can be expected a forced or distorted discussion of a question.
Will immediately talk out of a meeting, session, lecture, performance or film showing if he hears a speaker tell lies, or purvey ideological nonsense or shameless propaganda.
Will not subscribe to or buy a newspaper or magazine in which information is distorted and primary facts are concealed.
Of course we have not listed all of the possible and necessary deviations from falsehood. But a person who purifies himself will easily distinguish other instances with his purified outlook.
No, it will not be the same for everybody at first. Some, at first, will lose their jobs. For young people who want to live with truth, this will, in the beginning, complicate their young lives very much, because the required recitations are stuffed with lies, and it is necessary to make a choice.
But there are no loopholes for anybody who wants to be honest. On any given day any one of us will be confronted with at least one of the above-mentioned choices even in the most secure of the technical sciences. Either truth or falsehood: Toward spiritual independence or toward spiritual servitude.
And he who is not sufficiently courageous even to defend his soul- don’t let him be proud of his “progressive” views,a dn don’t let him boast that he is an academician or a people’s artist, a merited figure, or a general–let him say to himself: I am in the herd, and a coward. It’s all the same to me as long as I’m fed and warm.
Even this path, which is the most modest of all paths of resistance, will not be easy for us. But it is much easier than self-immolation or a hunger strike: The flames will not envelope your body, your eyeballs, will not burst from the heat, and brown bread and clean water will always be available to your family.
A great people of Europe, the Czhechoslovaks, whom we betrayed and deceived: Haven’t they shown us how a vulnerable breast can stand up even against tanks if there is a worthy heart within it?
You say it will not be easy? But it will be easiest of all possible resources. It will not be an easy choice for a body, but it is only one for a soul. Not, it is not an easy path. But there are already people, even dozens of them, who over the years have maintained all these points and live by the truth.
So you will not be the first to take this path, but will join those who have already taken it. This path will be easier and shorter for all of us if we take it by mutual efforts and in close rank. If there are thousands of us, they will not be able to do anything with us. If there are tens of thousands of us, then we would not even recognize our country.
If we are too frightened, then we should stop complaining that someone is suffocating us. We ourselves are doing it. let us then bow down even more, let us wail, and out brothers the biologists will help to bring nearer the day when they are able to read our thoughts are worthless and hopeless.
And if we get cold feet, even taking this step, then we are worthless and hopeless, and the scorn of Pushkin should be directed to us:
“Why should cattle have the gifts of freedom?
“Their heritage from generation to generation is the belled yoke and the lash.”

They’re spying on everyone anyways. Long live the truth movement, Long live freedom , Long live infowars.com, down with privately owned National Banks , down with Yale University.

Hackers of the world UNITE!
Lets say a hacker discovers this so called backdoor that Mi5 installs on your computer? Just like the old Micro$oft DCOM?
Pure bullshit, just use Linux and buy Cisco network equipment, setup dedicated firewalls, passive taps, CentOS and B.A.S.E. oh and dont forget SNORT. With this setup, nobody could hack you, just set the intruding IP address to “null”…or just ban all government/military IP zones. Simple.
I dont have anything of value on my computer, but I can safely say that Mi5 will never be able to hack my network
January 5th, 2009 at 1:43 pm
#4—Why? you ask…….Because we accept this.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:59 pm
HACKERS UNITE!!! BRING DOWN THE C.I.A AND OTHER SNOOP SYSTEM ORGANIZATIONS!!!
January 5th, 2009 at 2:01 pm
They, the black nobility do NOT care what we think….or do.Our nation has been apathetic/serving our flesh/living in sin and evil for so long…its a way of life….now being judged by God…you know, the one we reject (disobedience to his word)….and then when his judgement falls on us…we blame the one we rejected…..we reap what we sow!! Repent…and maybe God will have “More” mercy on us.

21, Agreed, The God of “The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster” agrees.
Now in the real world, we see again that the EU is bulldozing over our parliament, roll on June and give the EU the response they deserve.

no way without computers we can’t express how we feel and other stuff we can’t just let them take that away without that we can fight for whats right. computers and internet is our right and privacy.
January 5th, 2009 at 6:10 pm
You’re right, #24, but I’m going to guess that some smart person will devise something to protect a computer against intrusion … I hope so anyway. I’m sure what they’re openly admitting over there is probably covertly being carried out over here.
I knwo that Google was tracking/gathering information. One way around it, while still accessing Google, is to use the “Scroogle” search engine. It’s Google, through another company’s server that keeps no records. http://www.scroogle.org. Click on “Scroogle Scraper” on the right. I’ve been using it for a couple of months now, and it’s great.
January 5th, 2009 at 7:39 pm
yes Rosemary…. God bless you…… but I’m not really sure that he or she? is going to help us fight off the thought police even if we do repent!
Maybe a man made solution would be more practical in this particular instance
January 5th, 2009 at 8:25 pm
If the people don’t object to it then I don’t see what the problem is.

YOU CAN PASS MY “ENCRYPTED DATA” AROUND ALL YOU WANT. THEN IN 3 MILLION YEARS WHOEVER HAS CRACKED IT CAN READ IT. GOOD LUCK I HAVE PLENTY OF FILES TO KEEP YOU BUSY FOR A FEW MILLION MORE.

I wonder how they the snoopers will support that nazi bullshit when their feet are about four inches off the ground their eyes are turning red and their tongue turning blue and hanging out and their pissing their pants if they will still think its OK to violate whomever they wish and do as they please.

Governments around the World are already hacking certain individuals computers now. Law enforcement Uses a program called Dirt. Of course the officials are not the experts at such activities and when they do it they expose themselves, to the very same thing. There is no such thing as a secure computer system unless it is totally isolated from all others and access is restricted to only people that are reliable.

Good article.
Broadband users are probably the ones who have to worry the most.
There’s good tips for being safe above. Encryption, network obscurity, short dhcp lease time, don’t respond to pings, close all ports.
Bob’s tip about using Linux may be the best.
Here’s a couple tips for those broadband users who use windows:
Don’t use the software firewalls with the NSA-hole.
As in the article featured on infowars, written by CRYPTOME, December 2007,
this includes the MacAfee, Symantec, and ZoneAlarm.
Probably windows firewall, too, if you ask me.
I prefer Comodo but can’t personally assure that it doesn’t have the hole in it.
Use a hardware firewall. Use more than one if possible, and better if they’re not both the same brand.
Disconnect your computer from your cable modem, dsl, or router when you’re not using the internet. The most fool-proof method, right?
Might be hard to do if you insist on torrenting all day, but those MP3s and movies won’t be of much use (except the Truth movies) to you anyway.
Anyone else want to add some more computer security tips?
I guess use Linux is the best start. Those live-boot linux cds are great. There’s even linux that will boot off a jumpdrive (DSL-damn small linux, only like 50 megs)
better if they don’t hack a single one of us, so secure your network and individual machines, too.
January 24th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
Also don’t forget most chat programs and IM programs are completely UNencrypted, plain text of your conversation available easily to anybody “sniffing” the wires. Read LIVE LINUX USER’s post, too
January 24th, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Another thing you could do is set up a honeypot network. Or set up a honeypot computer that is placed (through your router) on the DMZ, de-militarized zone, so they think they’ve got in but really have only hacked a “safe” machine with no important data on it.
I’m not an expert so take all the tips from others into consideration too.
January 28th, 2009 at 5:32 am
The only authorization that’s needed for the surveillance is for a senior officer to determine that the monitoring is “proportionate” and necessary to investigate a “serious” crime (any crime that carries a possible jail sentence of at least three years). This could involve, for example, anyone suspected of terrorism, pedophilia or identity or credit card theft.
To conduct the remote hacking, police can send an e-mail containing a virus to the suspect’s computer, break into a residence to install a keystroke logger onto a machine or simply place a surveillance van in the vicinity of a wireless network to intercept the traffic.
British police already have the ability to remotely search and monitor computers under legislation passed in the 90s. The EU’s proposal would open the door for France, Germany or any other EU country to request surveillance of a UK resident.
