“The National Security Agency vacuumed up nearly two hundred million text messages from around the world daily, the Guardian and the UK’s Channel 4 News report on Thursday. Dishfire collects ‘pretty much everything it can,’ one of the documents stated. Dishfire’s vast database of messages allowed the NSA to extract names, information from missed calls, credit card numbers, data from electronic business cards, financial transactions, details of border crossings, travel information and geolocation information. Further, the Guardian and Channel 4 News report that the NSA’s British counterpart, the GCHQ, was given access to this database.”
