Creepy Spying System Revealed by Wikileaks, Which Then Gets Hit by DDOS Attack
RT is, as usual, full of shit. TrapWire is no secret, but a public product, available to any company who wants to pay for it (see www.trapwire.com)."more accurate than modern facial recognition technology""recorded digitally on the spot""encrypted and instantaneously delivered to a fortified central database center at an undisclosed location to be aggregated with other intelligence""the corporation's ties are assumed to go deeper than even documented"It sounds a bit ominous, but what does any of that even mean? The security video cameras have encrypted feeds into a central server, which does facial recognition? Sounds nice, but I'd be surprised if it works well enough to be useful (esp. if someone is wearing sunglasses), but not nearly as alarmed as the tone of the RT article encourages. Sounds more like fantasy technology and wasted tax money than anything else.
