In particular, this specially developed software is that has made possible the existence of this mechanism of espionage affecting users of the Internet around the world, and which has been revealed particularly by the American newspaper “The Guardian” for these hours, based on a series of documents before contributed by the now famous former analyst Edward Snowden, repented and pursued at present.

As shown, Xkeyscore is the culprit that these people have had the possibility of obtaining access to data such as for example those associated with our emails, instant messaging, as conversations on Facebook, and to complete each one of our browsers history .

On the other hand, also described a curious legal point which must be very taken into account in these cases, in which it is described, by the regulations in force in the United States, is not possible this Act of espionage without prior consent of the user. The problem is what happens in the rest of the world, where you can make the Act of espionage, “unless” that specifically request that it not carry out.

Finally, it should be mentioned that the NSA defends the use of Xkeyscore, pointing out that since 2008, thanks to the same they managed catch about 30 terrorists around the world using computers.
