4 October 2013 - Today, the Guardian is reporting on how the NSA targets Tor users, along with details of how it uses centrally placed servers on the internet to attack individual computers. This builds on a Brazilian news story from last week that, in part, shows that the NSA is impersonating Google servers to users; a German story on how the NSA is hacking into smartphones; and a Guardian story from two weeks ago on how the NSA is deliberately weakening common security algorithms, protocols, and products.

On October 26th, the anniversary of the PATRIOT Act, a coalition of more than 100 groups will hold a Rally Against Mass Surveillance in Washington, DC. We need your help to make this historic protest a huge success!
