Here's Proof Canada Is Snooping on People's Twitter Accounts

“This data is aggregated,” Treasury Board Minister Tony Clement told the Canadaland podcast in an episode released Sunday, referring to social media surveillance. “It’s not personal to an individual. If there are opinions expressed about a government initiative, policy or program, that’s the sort of data aggregated. It’s put into the hopper.”

"But, but it's only metadata!"

Recall, vice also did the Rob Ford’s Office Hired a Hacker to Destroy the Crack Tape story.

Just spit balling, but maybe the tow-trucker driver was given a little consideration to remove the plates, so everyone's technically been honest.

That's hardly a secure lot - someone could have easily hopped the fence and removed them.

UT is hosted on a secure site. At best packet sniffing will tell you that the phone is visiting UT, but they'll never know what's being transmitted. There's a theoretical man-in-the middle attack, but that is highly unlikely and would require a compromised router.

no SSL from what i can see

Somebody, but not anybody. Not after a few pops.

A lot of people read this thread who aren't members.

Very true... and that's what I was suggesting. In my opinion, it's not a UT member, but someone very interested in content of this thread.

Jimmi - you need to report this incident. It is an attempt to silence you via intimidation.

https

None of the https links I tried worked. You certainly can set up a web server to serve up the same content via both http and https, but it doesn't look like it was done for urbantoronto.ca. See for instance:

https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/forum.php

This is true on my end as well. Furthermore I was able to sniff packets in my home network, and read incoming, and outgoing data. I also took a minute to observe the password handshake, and the good news is that it's obfuscated in someway, seemingly by some form of message authentication. Attempts to access the site via https lead to pages that seem to be errors. My interest in this stems from the fact that I spend most of my time developing, and researching web applications; I am not a security expert by any means.

Anyway, this is way off topic, sorry readers that don't care about computers! Also regardless of network security, please stay safe Jimmi T!

I am concerned about your packet-sniffing habit. Maybe you should go to rehab!

 

[animatronic]

My Bad - I thought for sure there was SSL on my desktop. Looks like you are correct.

LOL If I had a spare 100 K burning a hole in my pocket.

ps - Jimmi T. I agree with everyone who has recommended reporting the intrusion on your privacy. It sounds threatening, and with the behavior of the participants in the Ford Fiasco, you should not take this lightly.
