Hey... our spooks are building a $300m data centre at Whenuapai. I applaud the idea of storing sensitive data locally, but what's this from Andrew Little?

"Government agencies would continue to use privately-owned data centres to store the bulk of their information..."

What a pity we can't look after our own government information here.

Remember, there is no "cloud" -- it's just other people's computers.

Interested in #SIGINT or #nationalsecurity but got stuck trying to figure out what various covernames meant? What *was* AFTERBOOTSOLE? BRAVENICKLE? DEMONSPIT or FROZENGAZE?

I've published a partial dictionary for the #NSA at: https://christopher-parsons.com/resources/the-sigint-summaries/nsa-codenames-covernames-and-suggested-use-implementation/

You can also find links for #GCHQ, #CSE, and #GCSB from: https://christopher-parsons.com/resources/the-sigint-summaries/

Here's a questionable claim from a NZ public servant:

"There are [internet platform] companies that hold way more information about individuals and businesses than the [GCSB] would ever be able to access..."
