"The National Defence Radio Establishment, FRA (Försvarets radioanstalt), has filed a complaint with Swedens Chancellor of Justice (Justitiekanslern JK) against a blogger for publishing a classified document said to prove that the agency was spying on individual Swedes back in 1996.
We have to follow the rules, said FRA head Ingvar Åkesson to the TT news agency. The blogger, Henrik Alexandersson, last week published a document showing that FRA had monitored cable-bound telecommunications traffic involving private individuals, something the agency was not authorized to do in the 1990s. The document describes communications between a Russian company and a Swedish small business owners. As the document includes several Russian fax numbers, the traffic from which was likely carried by telecommunications cables in the 1990s, Alexandersson concludes on his blog that "it is reasonable to assume that FRA received the information by monitoring cables". But FRA's director rejects the claim that the document shows FRA was monitoring cable-bound communications in 1996." --clip-- More at http://www.thelocal.se/13322/20080728/ Juha-Matti _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
