The NSA is well aware of the risks it runs with these attempts at albania whatsapp number data 5 million protection, and that is precisely why it has invested significant amounts of money (from taxpayers) to try to massively "hack" millions of computers with malicious software, which could make them "masters of the network", according to Zero Hedge . "NSA surveillance techniques could inadvertently jeopardize Internet security," warned Mikko Hypponen, a malware expert.

The agency has expanded its hacking capabilities by oversight. In some cases, the NSA has used fake Facebook servers to hijack the social network to use as a “launching pad” to hack into targeted computers and extract information from their hardware. They have also spammed “malware implants” that could hack into a computer in many different ways. These implants were developed in an automated program called Turbine, which allows for the deployment of malware on a large scale. In 2004, there were only about 100 to 150 implants, but recently the number has multiplied to tens of thousands. Snowden’s reports indicate that between 85,000 and 100,000 implants have been sent to computers and through social networks around the world. Approximately US$67.6 million was invested in developing the Turbine programme, so that it could be expanded to a “wide variety of networks”.
