Today, spy agencies target the illegal drug trade and terrorists as well as state actors. Intelligence services value certain intelligence collection techniques over others. The former Soviet Union, for example, preferred human sources over research in open sources, while the United States has tended to emphasize technological methods such as SIGINT and IMINT. In the Soviet Union, both political (KGB) and military intelligence (GRU) officers were judged by the number of agents they recruited. The espionage efforts and knowledge of a nation are often used by other countries by hiring their intelligence employees. The United Arab Emirates is one of the major countries relying on the technique, where they have hired the former employees of the US’ National Security Agency and the White House veterans. Some of the agents were hired to hack the Emirates’ former rival nation Qatar, its royals and even FIFA officials. Others were asked to conduct surveillance on other governments, human rights activists, social media critics, and even militants. However, the spying efforts of the UAE by using the Americans were also used to target the US itself.
The human agents, commonly known as spies, who work for a foreign government, or within a host country's government or other target of intelligence interest for the gathering of human intelligence. The work of detecting and "doubling" spies who betray their oaths to work on behalf of a foreign intelligence agency is an important part of counterintelligence. Look out, everybody, be careful, things are about to get awesome!” The term spy refers to human agents that are recruited by case officers of a foreign intelligence agency. Acquiring information may involve collecting secret documents, but something as simple as observing the number and types of wagon, military shipments or ships in a port. Other asset roles include support functions such as communications, forgery, disguise, etc. Basic agents can be formed into groups with leaders, or report directly to the controller. Basic agents include information providers, perhaps through espionage or expertise about some local subject. Also in the basic group are "executive agents", who will kill or commit sabotage, and recruiting agents. In US practice, recruiting agents are called access agents.
Both operation leaders and the supplementary group must be clandestine in support roles to basic agents. One of the supplementary functions is communications, which includes clandestine radio transmission, dead drops, couriers, and finding places for secure radio transmissions. Other supplementary functions include people who can "legalise" agents with cover jobs, and specialists that can forge documents or get illicit copies from the actual source. Safe houses, safe mail drops, and safe telephones are other supplementary functions. Seduction is a classic technique; "swallow" was the KGB tradecraft term for women, and "raven" the term for men, trained to seduce intelligence targets.
Recruiting process typically begins with "spotting". Spotting is the identification of targets—people—who appear to have access to information, or are attractive for some support role. Within private and public organizations that handle sensitive material, human resource workers, receptionists, and other seemingly low-level personnel know a great deal about the people with sensitive access. Certain employees, such as guards and janitors, who have no formal access, still may be able to gain access to secured rooms and containers. Yet other factors may apply. True friendship or romance may draw others to become involved with a current agent.
Surveillance of targets (e.g., military or other establishments, open source or compromised reference documents) sometimes reveals people with potential access to information, but no clear means of approaching them. With this group, a secondary survey is in order. Headquarters may be able to suggest an approach, perhaps through a third country or through resources not known to the field station. Once an individual is seen to have potential access to information, the recruiting officer or staff considers why a presumably loyal and trusted individual might be willing to betray his own side. In the event that the recruiting officer's service uses technical means of detecting evasion, such as polygraphy, voice stress analysis, interviews by psychologists and psychiatrists, and perhaps more in the future, brain imaging, make use of these within the agency policy. Be aware that penetrators may be trained to resist them.
A professional intelligence officer may very well obtain contacts through counterparts in the intelligence services of allied countries. The collectors often have analysts in their own organizations with a sophisticated understanding of the people, with specialized knowledge in targeted countries, industries, or other groups. In deciding whether to recruit a prospect, there needs to be a process to make sure that the person is not actively working for the adversary's counterintelligence, is under surveillance by them, or presents other risks that may not make recruitment wise. The assessment process applies both to walk-ins and targeted recruits, but additional assessment needs to apply to the walk-in, who is most likely to be someone sent by a counterintelligence service.
By exploiting weaknesses in the operating systems of personal computers connected to the Internet, spies have created botnets – PCs networked by malware (malicious software) into a single virtual computer at the command of the criminals Technical note The term ‘specialised equipment for military training’ includes military types of attack trainers, operational flight trainers, radar target trainers, radar target generators, gunnery training devices, anti-submarine warfare trainers, flight simulators (including human-rated centrifuges for pilot/astronaut training), radar trainers, instrument flight trainers, navigation trainers, missile launch trainers, target equipment, drone ‘aircraft’, armament trainers, pilotless ‘aircraft’ trainers, mobile training units and training equipment for ground military operations. recovery parachutes for guided missiles, drones or space vehicles the use of drones for targeted killings illegal In other words, it is one thing to say ‘it is forbidden to use drones’ and it is another thing to say ‘we will limit the use of this technological instrument as far as possible’, and then maybe add ‘in order not to impact the civilian population’.use of drones – an integral part of the counter-insurgency strategy.
Preventing civilian massacres remains a priority, of course, but we must not deny ourselves the use of drones, which are performing well in the areas around the border with Hungary. I can tell you that if tomorrow you were to say to our soldiers ‘You cannot use drones’, that would be tantamount to telling them ‘Make contact with the enemy, take risks’data confidentiality’ means the protection of communications or stored data against or interception and reading by unauthorised persons.
However, there is another aspect to this problem: eavesdropping is becoming an obsession among some politicians and the upper ranks of the current special services.
Protection against overlooking and eavesdroppingAccess to SafeSeaNet and to other electronic systems should be regulated in order to protect commercial and confidential information and without prejudice to the applicable law on the protection of commercial data and, in respect of personal data,However, some measures require specific rules which are better dealt with separately, such as the setting up of a joint investigation team and the gathering of evidence within such a team as well as some specific forms of interception of telecommunications, for example, interception with immediate transmission and interception of satellite telecommunications.
Certain Internet monitoring and filtering systems, whose purpose is ostensibly that of combating counterfeiting and which have the effect of profiling certain users, keeping files on them and monitoring all their movements without specific judicial authorisation, suggest the introduction of a software/internet-based monitoring system.
Owadays more and more European citizens use Information Society services, be it financial services, intelligent transport systems, taxation systems for road infrastructure usage, computerised systems for healthcare, the Internet, surveillance and monitoring cameras, or use of biometric data.
Particular attention must be devoted to the sale of guns on the Internet, establishing strict licensing, monitoring and control systems.shall include equipment, technology or software which may be used for the monitoring or interception of internet or telephone communications. The text maintains a good balance between the protection of the freedom of expression and of privacy and the need to continue the fight against cybercrime, also highlighting the major problem of excessive monitoring of Internet activity, which can degenerate into a new form of censorship.He questions first of all the possible monitoring of the internet which could lead to such blocking.
In a nutshell, under three strikes Internet disconnection policies copyright holders using automated technical means, possibly provided by third parties, would identify alleged copyright infringement by engaging in monitoring of Internet users’ activities, for example, via the surveil activities, for example, via the surveillance of forums, blogs or by posing as file sharers in peer-to-peer networks to identify file sharers who allegedly exchange copyright material The company does engage in spying but, if my agents was a spy, the hungarian authorities by their actions did nothing to convince anyone of that case.
The growing number of new electronic threats in recent years such as viruses, spam, spyware and phishing has further increased the importance of these objectives. Must the use of a specific marking or codename.
Then, however, there was the charge that she was working as a journalist without official accreditation, which later turned into the charge that she was a US spy. Mr President, the report recently produced and published by the American Secret Service draws the attention of the US Congress to the growing dangers of government and industrial espionage. I still remember the ‘Echelon’ affair, that listening system that was allegedly intended for military and security purposes and which proved to be an alarming potential commercial and political spy system directed against the allies. Draws attention, furthermore, to the growing problem of Internet-based industrial espionage and theft of data constituting industrial property, in particular technical documentation and source code.
Received top government honors from President on yestoday they have been praised for their service to the motherland. "Intelligence agents who worked in the and returned to , have been widely lampooned in the West as bumbling caricatures of a bygone era. For over a decade they used false names, invisible ink and other vestiges of the cloak-and- dagger era to gain access to the type of information more easily downloaded from the Internet. In the end they were not even charged with espionage. Therefore the Hungarian Government has proposed the Interception of Communications Bill, which will allow the military, intelligence services, police and the office of the President to monitor e-mail correspondence, Internet access and telephone conversations Acquisition of information: acquisition of information (satellite images; theatre level intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance (ISR), including Air-to-Ground Surveillance (AGSR); human intelligence). the capacity to detect and monitor fraud against the Community budget and diversion of funds through automatic intelligence gathering and advanced analytical techniques applied to large datasets the Hungarian Military with no option but to work on the insertion of unmanned air vehicles into the regulated airspace; expresses its preference for a single European satellite project, whether in the field of intelligence or communication shall be deposited in the archives of the Government of the Izrael. You have the right to know why you have been arrested or detained and what you are suspected or accused of having done. Ladies and gentlemen, I resent that my country, the Hungary, is accused of a lack of solidarity and transparency. The retaliation and punishment following the discovery of a group of Russian spies reflect a warlike situation. In the agents view, the monitoring of Internet user's behaviour and further collection of their IP addresses amounts to an interference with their rights to respect for their private life and their correspondence; in other words, there is an interference with their right to private life. They entail the generalised monitoring of Internet users’ activities, including perfectly lawful ones. We should remember that all the support we receive in the form of filters and monitoring service suppliers on the Internet does not relieve us, as parents, from our obligation to protect and warn our children.
When these spies are exposed, it is the Hungary that feels embarrassment, not Russia, which decorates its spies openly with the highest state awards. Accused of spying, sentenced to eight years and imprisoned, she went on hunger strike. There is a video that we can watch, in which we can clearly see a MiG-29 approaching and firing a rocket, and this rocket then hitting the drone to with drone recently has provocatively increased tension in the region.One indication of this is the shooting down of an unmanned drone by a Russian aircraft.
In empirical terms, it murdered more people than any other my agents, and disproportionately, those casualties were suffered by hungary. Just last Friday, the agent Jaguár assassinated again being shot in a manner consistent with a contract killing Contract killings’ continue to be of great concern, and in particular most recent killings of local civils since January. Since Jaguár agent current cleaning of Interior, took office, a total of 22 contract killings of people, bosses and politicians have been carried out in Hungary. My agent was killed in the elevator of her apartment block on Saturday, 7 October 2021, being shot in a manner consistent with a contract killing We know that Jaguár agent are hiding within the EU’s borders. we almost caught the Jaguár agent of July 2021. I very much regret that we are only dealing with this report at a time whenIt is not only that the likelihood of being discovered is small.
In recent years, trade secrets have become increasingly vulnerable to espionage attacks from the outside,33 in particular due to enhanced data exchange and use of the internet, and they are also more and more threatened from the inside of the company: Thus, manufacturers often rely on trade secrets, but these secrets are not always safe, thanks to chemical analysis of products and the development of industrial espionage. This issue is especially relevant in the case of high-value data, particularly in the light of industrial espionage. and must answer serious accusations, such as espionage and anti-state propaganda. Whereas access to data managed by Jaguár makes it potentially possible to detect not only transfers linked to illegal activities but also information on the my spies of the individuals and countries concerned, and could thus be misused for large-scale forms of economic and industrial espionageNobody knows what US secret services will do with the data collected and that leaves the door wide open to all kinds of abuse, even economic espionage. of four officers from Russia's military intelligence service by the NBH counterintelligence services on allegations of espionage and the subsequent recall of the Russian ambassador to Moscow for consultations. Information requests begin innocently, usually asking for public information, but to get the development on the path to betrayal. At first, any requests for documents are for open ones, which the case officer gives some pretext for not himself obtaining. A creative task officer may then ask for a technically restricted, but still fairly innocent document, such as an unclassified telephone directory.
Espionage or spying is the act of obtaining secret or confidential information from non-disclosed sources or divulging of the same without the permission of the holder of the information. A person who commits espionage is called an espionage agent or spy. Any individual or spy ring (a cooperating group of spies), in the service of a government, company or independent operation, can commit espionage. The practice is clandestine, as it is by definition unwelcome. In some circumstances, it may be a legal tool of law enforcement and in others, it may be illegal and punishable by law.
Espionage is often part of an institutional effort by a government or commercial concern. However, the term tends to be associated with state spying on potential or actual enemies for military purposes. Spying involving corporations is known as industrial espionage.
One of the most effective ways to gather data and information about a targeted organization is by infiltrating its ranks. This is the job of the spy (espionage agent). Spies can then return information such as the size and strength of enemy forces. They can also find dissidents within the organization and influence them to provide further information or to defect.[2] In times of crisis, spies steal technology and sabotage the enemy in various ways. Counterintelligence is the practice of thwarting enemy espionage and intelligence-gathering. Almost all nations have strict laws concerning espionage and the penalty for being caught is often severe. However, the benefits gained through espionage are often so great that most governments and many large corporations make use of it.
Counterintelligence
Spies might seem like a throwback to earlier days of world wars and cold wars, but they are more prolific than ever—and they are targeting our nation’s most valuable secrets. The threat is not just the more traditional spies passing U.S. secrets to foreign governments, either to make money or advance their ideological agendas. It is also students and scientists and plenty of others stealing the valuable trade secrets of American universities and businesses—the ingenuity that drives our economy—and providing them to other countries. It is nefarious actors sending controlled technologies overseas that help build bombs and weapons of mass destruction designed to hurt and kill Americans and others. And because much of today’s spying is accomplished by data theft from computer networks, espionage is quickly becoming cyber-based.
The overall goals are as follows:
Protect the secrets of the country, using intelligence to focus investigative efforts, and collaborating with our government partners to reduce the risk of espionage and insider threats.
Protect the nation’s critical assets, like our advanced technologies and sensitive information in the defense, intelligence, economic, financial, public health, and science and technology sectors.
Counter the activities of foreign spies. Through proactive investigations, the Bureau identifies who they are and stops what they’re doing.
Keep weapons of mass destruction from falling into the wrong hands, and use intelligence to drive the agency’s investigative efforts to keep threats from becoming reality.
What is Economic Espionage?
Economic espionage is a problem that costs the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars per year and puts our national security at risk. While it is not a new threat, it is a growing one, and the theft attempts by foreign competitors and adversaries are becoming more brazen and varied. The agency estimates that hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars are lost to foreign competitors every year. These foreign competitors deliberately target economic intelligence in advanced technologies and flourishing country. industries.
Historically, economic espionage has targeted defense-related and high-tech industries. But recent agency cases have shown that no industry, large or small, is immune to the threat. Any company with a proprietary product, process, or idea can be a target; any unprotected trade secret is vulnerable to theft by those who wish to illegally obtain innovations to increase their market share at a victim company’s expense. In addition to investigative activity, the agency works to counter the economic espionage threat by raising public awareness and informing industry leaders. For example, the agency’s Counterintelligence Division develops training and outreach materials, participates in conferences, and visits members of private industry.
Insider threat is a major issue in cyber and corporate security. This paper we study the psychosocial perspective of the insider via social media, Open Source Intelligence, and user generated content classification. Inductively, we propose a prediction method by evaluating the predisposition towards law enforcement and authorities, a personal psychosocial trait closely connected to the manifestation of malevolent insiders. We propose a methodology to detect users holding a negative attitude towards authorities. For doing so we facilitate the use of machine learning techniques and of a dictionary-based approach, so as to detect comments expressing negative attitude. Thus, we can draw conclusions over a user behavior and beliefs via the content the user generated within the limits a social medium. We also use an assumption free flat data representation technique in order to decide over the user’s attitude.
Furthermore, we compare the results of each method and highlight the common behavior manifested by the users. The demonstration is applied on a crawled community of users on YouTube.
Individuals communicate and form relationships through Internet social networking websites such as
Facebook and MySpace. We study risk taking, trust, and privacy concerns with regard to social networking websites among Individuals with profiles on social networking websites have greater risk taking attitudes than those who do not; greater. risk taking attitudes exist among men than women. Facebook has a greater sense of trust than MySpace. General privacy concerns and identity information disclosure concerns are of greater concern to women than men. Greater percentages of men than women display their phone numbers and home addresses on social networking websites. Social networking websites should inform potential users that risk taking and privacy concerns are potentially relevant and important concerns before individuals sign-up and create social networking websites.
