No Honor Amongst Thieves
They say there's no honor amongst thieves. It's not surprising then to see that the biggest thief of data, the National Security Agency (NSA), has been acting less than honorable:
Staff working at America's National Security Agency – the eavesdropping unit that was revealed to have spied on millions of people – have used the technology to spy on their lovers.
The employees even had a code name for the practice – "Love-int" – meaning the gathering of intelligence on their partners.
With all the recent news about impending war with Syria, coverage of the NSA's misdeeds has dwindled a bit. But we're still learning about the extent of the NSA's operations. At this point we should assume that the NSA is spying on everybody and anybody who is in a relationship with an employee of the NSA should really consider whether or not they can trust that person.
