Opmerkelijk blijft wel dat de tapstatistieken van de #MIVD niet meer op de defensiewebsite staan, toevallig net sinds die gigantisch gestegen zijn...

I discovered that the website of the unofficial virtual White House Museum is back - with floorplans and lots of highly interesting photos! ➡️ www.tysto.com/index.htm

In similar NSA training document with another font, PRISM FISA also doesn't fit...

The redacted sections are from the 86-page internal NSA training document for Section 702 FAA operations. This was the training that Snowden allegedly found "rigged to be overly difficult" and failed to complete www.dni.gov/files/icotr/...

Electrospaces.net @electrospaces.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
A term that does seem to fit the redacted space is "PRISM FISA" which has a somewhat strange variant that was seen (only once) in one of the PRISM presentation slides:

Electrospaces.net @electrospaces.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
This is strange: in the declassified internal #NSA training for Section 702 FAA operations from 2016 the term #PRISM doesn't fit the redacted space:

The number of foreign targets subject to #PRISM and #Upstream collection rose considerably last year:

Electrospaces.net @electrospaces.bsky.social · 23/05/2026
Last year, the FISA Court allowed the #NSA to use #PRISM and #Upstream collection for #counternarcotics operations. That makes a total of four topics for which these programs are used now:

De tapstatistieken maken duidelijk dat de inzet de gerichte taps aanzienlijk veranderd is: eerst hoofdzakelijk door de #AIVD voor contraspionage en binnenlandse dreigingen, nu in veel grotere getale door de #MIVD, maar voor welke soort targets...?

Electrospaces.net @electrospaces.bsky.social · 18/05/2026
Vorige maand verschenen weer de jaarlijkse tapstatistieken van #AIVD en #MIVD - samengevoegd en in meerjarenperspectief levert dat het volgende, tamelijk opmerkelijke beeld op:

In 2025 waren 70 verzoeken (1,5%) gebaseerd op de Tijdelijke Wet Cyberoperaties. Wel moet de #TIB nu veel meer juridische aspecten beschrijven omdat deze wet ook een beroepsprocedure mogelijk maakt

A patch with the logo of the Information & Intelligence Analysis (IIA) division of the #NSA, which was created as part of the internal reorganization of 2016. A reconstruction of the NSA's new organizational structure can be found here: www.electrospaces.net/2023/10/the-...

An interesting challenge coin from the #NSA showing the location of its four regional Cryptologic Centers (Georgia, Texas, Colorado, Hawaii) and its office in Alaska, but without the data center in Utah. More about these regional NSA facilities: www.electrospaces.net/2019/06/the-...

Just like the capture of Venezuelan president Maduro in January, US president #Trump monitored yesterday's strike against #Iran from a room in Mar-a-Lago that was "secured" only by thin black curtains.... www.electrospaces.net/2026/01/trum...

Trump's demolition of the East Wing of the White House reveals that the roof was actually made of concrete - not really a surprise as it was built above the bunker known as the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC)

A range of alleged classified US government documents appeared on Telegram, but the classification markings indicate that they are fake: SCI is a category and not a marking itself, and also "Eyes Only" isn't used in that way anymore, see: www.electrospaces.net/2013/09/the-...

For decades, many Americans feared the CIA and the NSA, but it seems that now the threat comes from other federal agencies..

Trump tries to turn the Oval Office into some kind of imperial palace... also clearly visible are two Cisco 8841 IP phones, one for secure and one for non-secure calls, similar to those on president Biden's desk: www.electrospaces.net/2021/01/the-...

Instead of using #Signal, Trump's national security team should have used their secure landline phones, or at least the NSA approved mobile solutions for classified communications: www.disa.mil/-/media/File...

Voorts blijkt uit het jaarverslag van de #TIB dat de diensten nu al #AI (een "neuraal netwerk") willen gebruiken voor het analyseren van gegevens uit de ongerichte kabelinterceptie:
