Or is THIS: the "ANTICRISIS" Girl?
GCHQ Spies on WikiLeaks Visitors
The system used by GCHQ to monitor the WikiLeaks website codenamed ANTICRISIS GIRL is described in a classified PowerPoint presentation prepared by the British agency and distributed at the 2012 SIGDEV Conference. At the annual gathering, each member of the Five Eyes alliance the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand describes the prior years surveillance successes and challenges.
In a top-secret presentation at the conference, two GCHQ spies outlined how ANTICRISIS GIRL was used to enable targeted website monitoring of WikiLeaks (See slides 33 and 34). The agency logged data showing hundreds of users from around the world, including the United States, as they were visiting a WikiLeaks site contradicting claims by American officials that a deal between the U.K. and the U.S. prevents each country from spying on the others citizens.
The IP addresses collected by GCHQ are used to identify individual computers that connect to the Internet, and can be traced back to specific people if the IP address has not been masked using an anonymity service. If WikiLeaks or other news organizations were receiving submissions from sources through a public dropbox on their website, a system like ANTICRISIS GIRL could potentially be used to help track them down. (WikiLeaks has not operated a public dropbox since 2010, when it shut down its system in part due to security concerns over surveillance.)

My leftover "cloned rotisserie chicken" and the rest kind of got microwaved waiting in suspense watching...but, indeed it was a great watch. I added carrots for colorful veggie mix with brocolli!

(84,711 posts)but, what I see is chickens without veins...and the meat tastes mealy and dry. And...being a lover of Dark Meat...I can't get used to thighs and backs with all white meat...and skin that is a peculiar consistency.. There's some weird stuff going on out there with these "Rotisserie Chickens." But..in a pinch...it's what there is...when you don't have time to cook from scratch. But...there's something wrong with these chickens...They are Cloned or something.
Since you ASKED.

Back to that? lol's that NSA has to use "ANTICRISIS GIRL" as moniker for one of their many vast surveillance entities. They must have had a zinger pix for "that one" they all laugh about as insider joke we will probably never know about.
