Times of "global spy" are becoming a reality

In a television interview, the famous novelist John le Carré (former employee of MI6) summed up the murky world of espionage with these words: "The global community is now a huge collection of secrets, which are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year, on all continents. In this global market, anything goes, and the purpose of the information ". Is the British author is right?

Those who express outrage to learn that democratic countries can spy on your 'friends' (such as Turkey and Russia) are either naive or they live in a utopian world. According to the retired employees of the CIA "there is nothing good and nothing wrong with the spy, it also has little to do with the law or morality".

Espionage, like trade, medicine and engineering, extends beyond the boundaries of nation-states and permeates the entire globe. The paradox of espionage based on the following principle: if the core is a scam espionage and betrayal, a core of international law is mutual respect and good manners. But not without reason espionage is beyond the scope of law - takes place in the shadow of international law and binding treaty countries.

This is what in a very clear accelerated development of espionage and "spying" is the Internet and the widespread computerization. Specialized spyware not warn internet users to start the installation process. Repeat the process on the disk trick, and when you enter the system, hiding and begin their secret mission. Their presence for a long time can be hidden, even though collect information about users of infected computers, and then - without their knowledge - send it to the author of a spy (a private person, company or government department).

Foreign policy and intelligence activities provide evidence that countries pursuing their own goals based on broadly defined "private interest". Individual governments today have no brakes to avoid inwigilować own citizens or residents of other państw.Warto recall even commented on the blog of the PRISM program, the U.S. intelligence gathering information about users online products such as Google, Skype, and Facebook.

Countries spy activities in any way, have been disclosed, usually are forced to as quickly as possible "swallow" wounded pride and consistent action on. Foreign policy, media revelations or intelligence blunders do not change the "spy reality." It is a world that is somewhat parallel to the reality created by politicians every day.

Do you believe that each of us has at least once fell victim to a "global espionage"?
