Dell’s Twitter Account Apologizes For The ‘Inconvenience’ Of Helping NSA Install Spyware

There are times when big brands with “social media people” might want to teach those junior level employees to recognize that using one of the standard “scripted” answers might be inappropriate. Take, for example, if you’re Dell and a new report has come out suggesting that the NSA has pretty much compromised your servers at the BIOS level with spy bugs, then, when someone — especially a respected security guy like Martin Wismeijer — tweets at you, you don’t go with the standard scripted “sorry for the inconvenience” response. But, apparently, that’s not how Dell handled things this time (thanks to Mike Mozart for the pointer):
In case you can’t read that, Wismeijer complained on Twitter about finding out that his Dell server is bugged by the NSA (which might be an exaggeration…) and included the @DellCares account in his tweet. That account wrote:
Thank you for reaching out and regret the inconvenience. Our colleagues at @dellcarespro will be able to help you out.
Wismeijer responded with an expected level of anger. Not only is “regret the inconvenience” probably the inappropriate response to a customer complaining about the NSA installing malware, but the idea that Dell support “will be able to help you out” is similarly questionable.

Apple Says It Knows Nothing About Your iPhone Spying On You

So, it turns out the NSA can drop in on your Apple iPhone anytime it wants to.
Thanks to the best technical minds your tax dollars can buy, the NSA has come up with something called “DROPOUT JEEP,” an application that can hijack your an iPhone’s SMS messages, contacts, location, camera, and microphone. The hack is really comprehensive, according to a leaked NSA doc acquired by Der Spiegel:
DROPOUT JEEP is a software implant for the Apple iPhone that utilizes modular mission applications to provide specific SIGINT functionality. This functionality includes the ability to remotely push/pull files from the device. SMS retrieval, contact list retrieval, voicemail, geolocation, hot mic, camera capture, cell tower location, etc. Command, control and data exfiltration can occur over SMS messaging or a GPRS data connection. All communications with the implant will be covert and encrypted.
Apple said today they know nothing about any of this:
So, Apple is either lying or the NSA is so good at using this stuff big technology corporations are completely clueless.
It is now readily apparent most if not all computer technology and consumer electronic companies have been folded into the Stasi surveillance state architecture. It can no longer be denied that we are living in an all-encompassing Orwellian panopticon nightmare.
