Dutch intelligence agency AIVD hacks internet forums
http://j.mp/1cSrI6f (NRC)
Nico van Eijk, a Dutch professor in Information Law, is of the opinion
that the Dutch intelligence service has crossed the boundaries of
Dutch legislation. "They use sweeps to collect data from all users of
web forums. The use of these techniques could easily lead to mass
surveillance by the government." IT specialist Matthijs Koot says
that the exploitation of this technology can lead to a blurring of the
lines between normal citizens and legitimate targets of the
intelligence services.
