Activists Launch TrolltheNSA website, to show support for Edward Snowden.


After the Biggest Leak in the History of US. Edward Snowden Supporters have started to gather in the streets to rise voice over his Brave Actions after Disclosing the most Confidential information of the US. Protestors have started a Website to show thier support to Edward and to Troll the NSA(National securtity Agency).

The Protesters are gonna launch a massive spam attack on the NSA network by bombing with calls and emails on June 12. The Website TrolltheNSA.com says : IF MILLIONS OF US, ALL AT THE SAME EXACT TIME, CALL OR EMAIL SOMEONE WITH OUR KEYWORDS-OF-TERROR-FILLED SCRIPT, WE CAN GIVE OUR NATION’S IMPRESSIVE SURVEILLANCE APPARATUS THE KIND OF TEST IT DESERVES.  They say they don’t read or listen to the contents of our messages. Why not test it out?  It’ll be fun.

The Script to be Spammed to the NSA is also ready,  it say :


Hey! How’s it going? I’m all right. 

My job is so shitty I wish could overthrow my boss. It’s like this oppressive regime where only true believers in his management techniques will stay around. I work marathon-length hours and he’s made all these changes that have made it the worst architecture firm to work at in Manhattan. Like he moved the office to the Financial District and fired my assistant. She was the only one who knew where the blueprints were! I need access to those blueprints to complete my job! F my life, right? And he keeps trying to start all these new initiatives to boost revenue, but seriously we just need to stick to what we do best. There’s only one true profit center. I seriously feel ready to go on strike at any second.

I just read this article about how these free radical particles can cause the downfall of good health and accelerate aging. These could actually cause death to millions of Americans. If these particles are flying around undetected everywhere, does that mean we’re all radicalized?

Have you seen the second season of Breaking Bad? I just finished it. I couldn’t believe that episode where they poison the guy with ricin! That was the bomb! I won’t say any more because I don’t want to reveal the earth-shattering events to come.

Oh! So I’ve been planning a big trip for the summer. I’m thinking of visiting all of the most famous suspension bridges in the United States. So probably like the Golden Gate Bridge, The Brooklyn Bridge, and the Verrazano Narrows Bridge. I’m gonna bring my younger brother and I know he’ll want to go to bars, so I’m thinking of getting him a fake drivers license, but I hope that doesn’t blow up in my face.

Okay, I gotta run! I’m late for flight school. I missed the last class where we learn how to land, so I really can’t miss another one. Talk to you later!

Lets See how this Affects the NSA and how much they can be succesfull to troll the Agency. Goodluck OperationTrollthensa.

Malware researcher Jacob Applebaum found this Malware on Mac Machines which targeted Activists Group and to spy on them. The Malware was spread Via Spear Phishing attack making the victim open the Email and installing the Malware on the machine without victims consent
 Jacob Applebaum Said, Its a backdoor name "macs.app" which automatically launches during user login. He also added that the Malware was controlled via servers located at securitytable.org and docsforum.info.  The spywarei is signed with an Apple Developer ID which is programmed by Apple Inc. to prevent Malware installations automatically 
To remove the malware is not a big headache though. you can remove it by Deleting "macs.app" entry from the login terms and uninstalling the app which  could be there in many places of the Apple computer you use.
