October 3rd Cybersecurity Update – NSA Technology Test

Top intelligence officials say the National Security Agency has tried to track Americans’ cell-phone locations. It was part of a two-year pilot to test the technology. NSA chief General Keith Alexander says the agency did not actually track Americans’ movements. He spoke before the Senate Judiciary Committee. The panel is considering legislation to restrict the surveillance programs. Alexander denied reports that the NSA dug into American’s social media networks. And he says the agency has discliplined all but one of the dozen employees who have used the agency’s technology for unauthorized purposes…including spying on their girlfriends.
