4. There used to be this thing on windows 98 that kept sending out
information over the net that was part of the MSN messenger and I was curious, and I found some guys online who decompiled it. Inside the code, they found comments saying it was owned by Sandia.gov, and the info was being sent to a contractor with them whose name I can't recall. Now all this was back in like 2000. Of course, the methods for suveilling computers now are presumably more discreet, but its WAY bigger..as the whistleblower said, this is the tip of the iceberg.
