Email users beware, Big Brother is watching SIDDHARTH
SRIVASTAVA TIMES NEWS NETWORK
NEW DELHI: The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has prepared a list of
new keywords that are to be used to intercept mails emanating
from IP addresses in India.
The move comes after investigations have revealed that Mohammad
alias 'Burger,' who led the Parliament attack, was in constant touch
with his counterparts in Pakistan as well as within India through
email.
A laptop has been recovered from the terrorists as well, the
contents of which are under investigation. The IB earlier reported
that terrorists connected to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and the Jaish are
tech-savvy.
Till now, the IB had concentrated more on email IDs with reference
to obvious giveaways such as Kashmir, Lashkar, Pakistan,
Musharraf etc. For example, an email ID such as
Lashkar@hotmail.com should be under the surveillance of the IB.
The IB has now gone further and prepared a new list of keywords
used in the copy of mails that will be intercepted.
The system works like this: A software filters mails that repeatedly
use the words that the IB has shortlisted. The more obvious
keywords would include Jaish, Kashmir, Lashkar. Others are
attack, kill, rocket. Mails with repeated reference to Arab names
will also be under surveillance.
Emails that carry names of Indian political leaders will also be
under surveillance. However, the software can't decipher code
words since they can be common words. Interestingly, the CIA is
using the same software with a good success rate. (((Hey
spookwalla! That's *NSA,* okay? Not the CIA! The NSA is the one
with all the mathematicians.)))
"The task of monitoring such mails is humungous. Hence, for now,
we will be monitoring mails that have several references to the
keywords that we have identified," says a senior IB official.
According to the official: "The IB is the only Indian intelligence
Agency that has the ability to intercept mails. None of the other
agencies involved in investigationsthe Delhi Police, the Central
Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Research and Analysis Wing
(RAW)have the ability to intercept mails. Only the CIA has similar
capabilities." (((So how'd the IB get those "similar capabilities"?
