58 | The Edward Snowden trove of leaked documents is still making the news. The latest report on The Intercept says the NSA made plans to distribute malware through the Google Play Store and the Samsung app stores. As always, the best part is the program's internal name. In this case, it's called Irritant Horn." The malware enabled a man-in-the-middle attack, enabling the NSA to get real-time locations and copy users' contacts. It's unclear whether these plans were ever put into motion, or whether the NSA was able to circumvent Google and Samsung encryption. | https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2083944-uc-web-report-final-for-dc.html#document/p13 | https://firstlook.org/theintercept/2015/05/21/nsa-five-eyes-google-samsung-app-stores-spyware/ | |||

62 | The Wall Street Journal says Google has developed new technology to show how mobile ads lead to actual sales in brick-and-mortar stores. The ability to demonstrate this connection enables them to charge more for ads. Google has been revealing to stores like Target, Home Depot and other retails that people who have tapped on mobile search ads spend more when they go to the store than the non tappers. | http://www.wsj.com/articles/google-touts-mobile-ad-technology-1432220552 | ||||
