[tor-talk] A Tor-like service run by former NSA/TAO Director & CIA National Clandestine Service Senior Officer

Hi all, there's a Tor-like service run by former NSA/TAO Director & CIA National Clandestine Service Senior Officer. It seems a Commercial Onion Routing Privacy Service for US enterprises and Government Agencies. It's called NetAbstraction: http://www.netabstraction.com/internet-privacy-protection/system-overview "NetAbstraction is a Cloud-based service that obscures and varies your network pathways, while protecting your identity and your systems." They say to fully cooperate with Law Enforcement from www.netabstraction.com/internet-privacy-protection/faq-support Behind NetAbstraction there's a company, Cutting Edge CA: http://www.cuttingedgeca.com/ The president and CTO of Cutting Edge CA is a former NSA "Tailored Access Operation" (TAO) Senior Leader, Miss. Barbara Hunt http://www.linkedin.com/pub/barbara-hunt/30/288/55b . >From Miss. Hunt linkedin public profile: " My last position in the Intelligence Community (2008-2012) was as Director of Capabilities for Tailored Access Operations at the National Security Agency. As a member of NSA/TAO's senior leadership team, was responsible for end-to-end development and capabilities delivery for a large scale computer network exploitation effort" Works here also a former 24 years CIA Senior Operations Officer that was in charge of National Clandestine Service, Mr. Bay. >From http://www.cuttingedgeca.com/leadership.html : "Mr. Bay is a retired CIA Senior Operations Officer with 24 years of experience conducting a full range of intelligence operations for the National Clandestine Service, including operational innovation and implementation of telecommunications and information technology programs. Mr. Bay also brings extensive experience in alternate persona research, planning, acquisition, and use." It would be very interesting if someone would spent some more time investigating it, to get a bit more a in depth picture, other than just my early OSINT. Former spy, experts on COMINT and SIGINT, running an online privacy service? mmmmmmmmmmm... -- Fabio Pietrosanti (naif) HERMES - Center for Transparency and Digital Human Rights http://logioshermes.org - http://globaleaks.org - http://tor2web.org
