Honestly? I think that this has been going on since 1990 or so. The Internet gives a false sense of privacy, but what with IP addresses, MAC IDs and backdoors in all the OS, that's a fools belief. Time magazine did an article in 1975 where they said 95% of all phones (all were hardwired back then) were tapped by 1972 and it was more than likely that number was already at 100% then. We all know of the eavesdropping on terrorists program that was instituted under Bush and how that ended up as the eavesdropping program on all. Albi and I used to talk about that a bit. Interesting conversations.
