A frequent source 'A' sending updated NSA-Affiliated IP resources to Cryptome's Web site has reported the following yesterday:
"Certain privacy/full session SSL email hosting services have been purchased/changed operational control by NSA and affiliates within the past few months, through private intermediary entities." Reportedly the following services are controlled: Hushmail / Canada: http://www.hushmail.com/ Guardster / USA: http://www.guardster.com/ and SAFe-mail.net http://www.safe-mail.net/ from Israel. Additionally, 'More info on industry Windows security software' has been released:
From the report:
"Zone Alarm, Symantec, MacAfee: All facilitate Microsoft's NSA-controlled remote admin access via IP/TCP ports 1024 through 1030; ie will allow access without security flag. Unknown whether or not software port forward routing by these same programs will defeat NSA access."
