MrLVtrade - Perisikan BND gagal
untuk melindungi data peribadi rakyat Jerman kerana ia diserahkan data internet
dikutip di hab trafik Frankfurt ke Syarikat Amerika, laporan media Jerman
memetik dokumen rahsia.
Dokumen-dokumen yg disebut oleh VDR & EDR
televisyen & akhbar Süddeutsche Zeitung, yg memecahkan berita bersama-sama,
tlh diperolehi daripada kerajaan persekutuan semasa penyiasatan sedang
berjalan ke parlimen Amerika Syarikat Perkhidmatan Keselamatan Negara mengintip
tanah Jerman.
Sama seperti NSA adalah dilarang oleh undang-undang
untuk mengintip rakyat Amerika, yang BND tidak dibenarkan mengintip Jerman.
Oleh itu, apabila pada tahun lepas telah mendedahkan bahawa kedua-dua
perkhidmatan perisikan telah bekerjasama untuk mengumpul data komunikasi di
De-CIX nod pertukaran internet di Frankfurt, yang BND terpaksa mengeluarkan
penjelasan.
Perkhidmatan Jerman berkata ia mempunyai penapis
berjalan, yang menghalang data rakyat Jerman daripada dikumpul dan dikemukakan
kepada NSA. Tetapi sistem itu, yang didakwa untuk memastikan "lengkap dan
bebas dari kesalahan" pemisahan data dilindungi adalah apa-apa tetapi
bebas dari kesalahan, dan BND tahu, kata laporan hari ini.
Malah penapis, dipanggil Dafis, hanya boleh menahan
kira-kira 95 % peratus dari-pada komunikasi sensitif, ujian awal yang diadakan
pada tahun 2003 menun-jukkan. Ia tidak ditetapkan pada tahun 2004, apabila
pengumpulan dan peng-hantaran data bermula dan ia masih mempunyai masalah pada
Julai 2008, apabila program ini telah ditamatkan, dokumen-dokumen menunjukkan.
Penyertaan BND dalam program yang diberi nama kod
'eikonal' diperlukan kerana NSA tidak dibenarkan akses langsung kepada nod.
Kajian sendiri berkata membe-ritahu selain data komunikasi asing dan Jerman
sepenuhnya adalah mustahil. Tetapi hakikat bahawa data Jerman akan bocor kepada
Amerika dan ini mungkin melanggar undang-undang itu tidak dilaporkan kepada
jawatankuasa pengawasan parlimen.
Perkhidmatan perisikan Jerman juga mendapati bahawa
NSA cuba utk mengintip syarikat-syarikat seperti gergasi aeroangkasa EADS &
kerajaan Perancis sebagai sebahagian daripada operasi itu, kata laporan.
Siasatan Bundestag ke NSA mengintip di Jerman itu
didorong oleh satu siri mende-dahkan berdasarkan dokumen yang diberikan kepada
media Jerman oleh pemberi maklumat Edward Snowden. NSA dilaporkan bukan sahaja
mengumpul maklumat komunikasi pukal tetapi juga memasang telinga kepada
Canselor Jerman Angela Merkel.
Ayat-ayat menyebabkan kegemparan di kalangan orang
Jerman dan dibuat kerajaan mengambil pendirian yg lebih tegas terhadap
program pengintipan Amerika. Selepas gagal mendapatkan perjanjian 'tiada - mengintip' dari Was-hington, 2 pemberi maklumat Amerika Syarikat yang bekerja di
BND telah outed, dengan butir-butir operasi meluas diliputi oleh media.
Germany handed
law-protected private data
to NSA for years - reports . . .
Intelligence service BND failed to protect the
private data of German citizens as it handed over internet data collected at a
Frankfurt traffic hub to the US, German media report citing secret documents.
The documents cited by VDR and EDR television and
the newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung, which broke the news together, were obtained
from the federal government during an ongoing parliamentary investigation into
US National Security Service spying on German soil.
Just like the NSA is forbidden by the law to spy on
Americans, the BND is not allowed to spy on Germans. So when last year in was
revealed that the two intelligence services had been collaborating to collect
communication data at the De-Cix internet exchange node in Frankfurt, the BND
had to produce explanations.
The German service said it had a filter running,
which prevented data of German citizens from being collected and forwarded to
the NSA. But the system, which was claimed to ensure “complete and faultless”
separation of the protected data was anything but faultless, and the BND knew
it, the Friday reports said.
In fact the filter, called Dafis, could only
withhold about 95 percent of the sensitive communications, initial tests held
in 2003 showed. It was not fixed by 2004, when the collection and forwarding of
the data started and it still had problems by July 2008, when the program was
terminated, the documents indicate.
The BND's participation in the program codenamed
‘eikonal’ was needed because the NSA was not allowed a direct access to the
node. Its own review said telling apart foreign and German communication data
completely was impossible. But the fact that the German data would be leaked to
the Americans and that this may be a violation of the law was not reported to
the parliamentary oversight committee.
The German intelligence service also noticed that
the NSA was trying to spy on companies like the aerospace giant EADS and the
French government as part of the operation, the reports said.
The Bundestag investigation into NSA's spying in
Germany was prompted by a series of exposés based on documents provided to the
German media by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The NSA reportedly not only
collected bulk communication information but also eavesdropped on German
Chancellor Angela Merkel.
The revelations caused uproar among Germans and made
the government take a tougher stance on American espionage programs. After it
failed to secure a ‘no-spying’ deal from Washington, two US informants working
in the BND were outed, with details of the operations extensively covered by
the media.
