Spy agencies around the world use radio signals to tap data from targeted systems

Reports this week that the National Security Agency uses radio signals to

A year after Swartz suicide, reform of anti-hacking law remains elusive

Internet activist Aaron Swartz's suicide last January galvanized calls for an
overhaul of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, used widely by the government to
prosecute misdeeds that critics say the law was never intended to address. Yet,
one year after Swartz's death, efforts to reform the law have made little
headway.
