Did you know....The NSA can "Hi-jack" your windows crash reports?. A Windows crash report contains data on a user's computer and sends it to Microsoft engineers so they can improve user experience. But in the hands of the NSA, crash reports show system vulnerabilities that can be exploited by the agency. 4951

DURANGO, Colo. (Reuters) - A Colorado judge ordered two teen-age girls to pay about $900 for the distress a neighbor said they caused by giving her home-made cookies adorned with paper hearts.The pair were ordered to pay $871.70 plus $39 in court costs after neighbor Wanita Renea Young, 49, filed a lawsuit complaining that the unsolicited cookies, left at her house after the girls knocked on her door, had triggered an anxiety attack that sent her to the hospital the next day.Taylor Ostergaard, then 17, and Lindsey Jo Zellitte, 18, paid the judgment on Thursday after a small claims court ruling by La Plata County Court Judge Doug Walker, a court clerk said on Friday.The girls baked cookies as a surprise for several of their rural Colorado neighbors on July 31 and dropped off small batches on their porches, accompanied by red or pink paper hearts and the message: "Have a great night."The Denver Post newspaper reported on Friday that the girls had decided to stay home and bake the cookies rather than go to a dance where there might be cursing and drinking.It reported that six neighbors wrote letters entered as evidence in the case thanking the girls for the cookies.But Young said she was frightened because the two had knocked on her door at about 10:30 p.m. and run off after leaving the cookies.She went to a hospital emergency room the next day, fearing that she had suffered a heart attack, court records said.The judge awarded Young her medical costs, but did not award punitive damages. He said he did not think the girls had acted maliciously but that 10:30 was fairly late at night for them to be out. 4951

Not only can the NSA pull information from your social media profiles (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), it can combine it with other private data (GPS location, frequent contacts) to build complex profiles of where you are and who you're with. 4951

The NSA can direct you to mirror sites and record your activity.For instance, if you try to log onto the Yahoo servers, the NSA can intercept your request and direct you to a mirror site, from where it can monitor and record your activity. Similarly, if you try to visit certain religious or terrorist sites, it can automatically misdirect you and inject malware onto your PC. 4951

January 27, 2014 Posted by: Rob RichardsonHSBC Bank Customers are being told they will have to prove why they need their own money before being allowed to withdrawal it from their accounts.Over the weekend, people who bank at HSBC in England were shocked to learn the bank had implemented a new policy blocking customers from making “large” withdrawals without evidence explaining why they needed the money. 4951

So are you saying the NSA and Government will know who is talking bad about them on forums and such too, and thus target accordingly? Emoticon 4951
