Former AT&T technician Mark Klein Statement re: NSA Taps
by coderman 07 Apr '06

http://www.wired.com/news/technology/1,70621-0.html ---cut--- Wiretap Whistleblower's Statement 12:25 PM Apr, 07, 2006 Former AT&T technician Mark Klein has come forward to support the EFF's lawsuit against AT&T for its alleged complicity in the NSA's electronic surveillance. Here, Wired News publishes Klein's public statement in its entirety. Full story: Ex-AT&T Worker Tells Of NSA Op [ http://www.wired.com/news/technology/0,70619-0.html?tw=wn_index_1 ] Statement: Mark Klein, April 6, 2006 My background: For 22 and 1/2 years I worked as an AT&T technician, first in New York and then in California. What I observed first-hand: In 2002, when I was working in an AT&T office in San Francisco, the site manager told me to expect a visit from a National Security Agency agent, who was to interview a management-level technician for a special job. The agent came, and by chance I met him and directed him to the appropriate people. In January 2003, I, along with others, toured the AT&T central office on Folsom Street in San Francisco -- actually three floors of an SBC building. There I saw a new room being built adjacent to the 4ESS switch room where the public's phone calls are routed. I learned that the person whom the NSA interviewed for the secret job was the person working to install equipment in this room. The regular technician work force was not allowed in the room. In October 2003, the company transferred me to the San Francisco building to oversee the Worldnet Internet room, which included large routers, racks of modems for customers' dial-in services, and other equipment. I was responsible for troubleshooting problems on the fiber optic circuits and installing new circuits. While doing my job, I learned that fiber optic cables from the secret room were tapping into the Worldnet circuits by splitting off a portion of the light signal. I saw this in a design document available to me, entitled "Study Group 3, LGX/Splitter Wiring, San Francisco" dated Dec. 10, 2002. I also saw design documents dated Jan. 13, 2004 and Jan. 24, 2003, which instructed technicians on connecting some of the already in-service circuits to the "splitter" cabinet, which diverts some of the light signal to the secret room. The circuits listed were the Peering Links, which connect Worldnet with other networks and hence the whole country, as well as the rest of the world. One of the documents listed the equipment installed in the secret room, and this list included a Narus STA 6400, which is a "Semantic Traffic Analyzer". The Narus STA technology is known to be used particularly by government intelligence agencies because of its ability to sift through large amounts of data looking for preprogrammed targets. The company's advertising boasts that its technology "captures comprehensive customer usage data ... and transforms it into actionable information.... (It) provides complete visibility for all internet applications." My job required me to connect new circuits to the "splitter" cabinet and get them up and running. While working on a particularly difficult one with a technician back East, I learned that other such "splitter" cabinets were being installed in other cities, including Seattle, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego. What is the significance and why is it important to bring these facts to light? Based on my understanding of the connections and equipment at issue, it appears the NSA is capable of conducting what amounts to vacuum-cleaner surveillance of all the data crossing the internet -- whether that be peoples' e-mail, web surfing or any other data. Given the public debate about the constitutionality of the Bush administration's spying on U.S. citizens without obtaining a FISA warrant, I think it is critical that this information be brought out into the open, and that the American people be told the truth about the extent of the administration's warrantless surveillance practices, particularly as it relates to the internet. Despite what we are hearing, and considering the public track record of this administration, I simply do not believe their claims that the NSA's spying program is really limited to foreign communications or is otherwise consistent with the NSA's charter or with FISA. And unlike the controversy over targeted wiretaps of individuals' phone calls, this potential spying appears to be applied wholesale to all sorts of internet communications of countless citizens. ---end-cut---

Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] EFF: AT&T forwards all Internet traffic into NSA Reply-To: rah(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://www.spamdailynews.com/publish/printer_ATT_forwards_all_Internet_traf…> >From Spam Daily News NEWS EFF: AT&T forwards all Internet traffic into NSA Posted on April 07, 2006 The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on Wednesday filed the legal briefs and evidence supporting its motion for a preliminary injunction in its class-action lawsuit against AT&T. After asking EFF to hold back the documents so that it could review them, the Department of Justice consented to EFF's filing them under seal -- a well-established procedure that prohibits public access and permits only the judge and the litigants to see the evidence. While not a party to the case, the government was concerned that even this procedure would not provide sufficient security and has represented to the Court that it is "presently considering whether and, if so, how it will participate in this case." "The evidence that we are filing supports our claim that AT&T is diverting Internet traffic into the hands of the NSA wholesale, in violation of federal wiretapping laws and the Fourth Amendment," said EFF Staff Attorney Kevin Bankston. "More than just threatening individuals' privacy, AT&T's apparent choice to give the government secret, direct access to millions of ordinary Americans' Internet communications is a threat to the Constitution itself. We are asking the Court to put a stop to it now," said Bankston. EFF's evidence regarding AT&T's dragnet surveillance of its networks includes a declaration by Mark Klein, a retired AT&T telecommunications technician, and several internal AT&T documents. This evidence was bolstered and explained by the expert opinion of J. Scott Marcus, who served as Senior Technical Advisor for Internet Technology to the Federal Communications Commission from July 2001 until July 2005. The internal AT&T documents and portions of the supporting declarations have been submitted to the Court under a tentative seal, a procedure that allows AT&T five court days to explain to the Court why the information should be kept from the public. "The public deserves to know about AT&T's illegal program," said EFF Legal Director Cindy Cohn. "In an abundance of caution, we are providing AT&T with an opportunity to explain itself before this material goes on the public docket, but we believe that justice will ultimately require full disclosure." The NSA program came to light in December, when the New York Times reported that the President had authorized the agency to intercept telephone and Internet communications inside the United States without the authorization of any court. "Mark Klein is a true American hero," said EFF Staff Attorney Kurt Opsahl. "He has bravely come forward with information critical for proving AT&T's involvement with the government's invasive surveillance program." In the lawsuit, EFF is representing the class of all AT&T residential customers nationwide. Working with EFF in the lawsuit are the law firms Traber & Voorhees, Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP and the Law Office of Richard R. Wiebe.

[Clips] nCipher sees silver linings as SafeNet abandons its bid

Hettinga" <rah(a)shipwright.com> Subject: [Clips] nCipher sees silver linings as SafeNet abandons its bid Reply-To: rah(a)philodox.com Sender: clips-bounces(a)philodox.com <http://www.siliconfenbusiness.com/index.php?articleid=107> Silicon Fen Business Report One-stop news on the Cambridge High Tech Cluster nCipher sees silver linings as SafeNet abandons its bid 7th April, 2006 By a staff writer It's a back-handed compliment for a growing business to be referred to the Competition Commission. To be seen as a potential dominant force in the market and hence a threat to competition means it must be doing something right. It also has the virtue of drawing attention to the firm as an undoubted player of substance. These are the bright points that IT security specialist nCipher plc (NCH.L) seems to have drawn from the withdrawal of the recommended bid by US-based SafeNet Inc, who on 8th February offered #86m for the firm. When on 30th March, after preliminary investigations, the Office of Fair Trading referred the proposed takeover to the Competition Commission for a full UK regulatory anti-trust/competition review, it automatically triggered a lapse clause written into the terms of the offer. Today SafeNet said it will not proceed with the offer. It cited the OFT comments about the competitive position of the two companies - that the deal would bring together two of the largest suppliers of Hardware Security Modules which may lead to customers facing higher prices and a loss of innovation - and the time, cost and potential disruption to business that could ensue from a referral. In acknowledging SafeNet's decision, nCipher's directors agreed with that assessment and issued a forward looking statement explaining the broad strategy for continuing as "as an independent entity". Growth opportunities IT and Internet security - nCipher's core area of expertise - have become big issues in organisations. The Cambridge-based firm applies cryptography to the problems of identifying people and protecting their data, their businesses, and the transactions which occur between them. The nCipher Board there are "good growth opportunities" in their markets to build on the strong performance in 2005 which their growing portfolio of products and services "put us in an excellent position to exploit". It will now focus on those prospects and on further operational improvements. While the company did draw some perverse comfort from the referral to the Competition Commission, it said "the very high regard in which customers hold nCipher, its products and its after-sales service has also been emphasised to us by the consultation process". The Board intends to build on this brand loyalty and said it has the full commitment of the executive team. CEO Alex van Someren (pictured) had been due to leave following the takeover, though not co-founder and Chief Technical Officer Nicko van Someren. Share price 24% above pre-bid It remains to be seen how the stock market reacts once analysts have re-evaluated nCipher's stand-alone prospects. Given that SafeNet's offer was at a considerable premium - either 36% or 52%, depending on where you start measuring - the share price was always going to come off the 300p offered. At midday it was trading at 245p, 24% above the 197.5p of 19 January, the last day prior to the move up that triggered, five days later, the announcement by nCipher that it was in talks which could lead to an offer. That news left the price at 220.5p. nCipher expects to release results for the first quarter ended 31 March on 23 May when we should see whether the offer had an impact on trading. When releasing the full year results in late February, Mr van Someren said "uncertainty created by the SafeNet offer may have a short-term impact on revenues". Meanwhile at SafeNet SafeNet said its chief financial officer was leaving the company immediately and that it was booking costs of $600,000 for the lapsed offer in the first quarter. -- ----------------- R.
