Shameful and wrong.
Looks like the Governments are becoming the Mafia's and the Mafia's are starting to take care of the people.

it is unfortunate waste of money. All that troubles, so they can say afterwards - "we have intel on that" in such ocean of data to find any valuable intel is impossible. Nothing what they do make sense besides of allocation of fatty budget and making them reacher.

I agree. This is some of the worst news that I have read in a while.

Very interesting. Is it a new group?

and  that is the reason why  all my  coms are  throgh a vpn,  wrapped in I2P, and  all  drives  encrypted using  physical key.  i hate  cell phones any ways . so  who  cares  if i'm talking  about  ponies, pink dresses, world  of  Warcraft, and  anime, and any ways  my  power level  is  over 9000.  


ps- its time  for a  nation wide  cryptoparty.  Who's  hosting, i'm  getting the  beer.

One of the solutions is to use OpenVPN with server hosted outside of India.
It requires both client and server to authenticate using certificates. To some extent it can be mitigated.

Moreover, am little skeptical of this happening. I strongly feel that this is just a fake news to scare people that they are keeping track of their usage.
Because, there are a lot of things to consider and comply to.

For instance, there is PCI compliance that needs to be taken care as users are using credit cards over the internet.
The companies based out of India like google and microsoft should have a SSL certificate termination and again the traffic needs to be encrypted.

It took Indian Govt several years to convince Blackberry to have a encryption termination server installed in India and give them access to messages.

Am not saying it cannot be done, but that needs a lot of investment and time. There are a lot of International Privacy laws to be considered and adhered to.

Live  life with  security in mind.  be paranoid. be  very paranoid. who knows "All your bases are mine".
just  have a home  router  with a  vpn, infact  build your  own  linux  router  will cost  you less than  5k  and  does  every  type  of  work  a  enterprise class router  could.  get  your  vpn  from PRQ  they kick  ass. they the boss.

Never  underestimate  the power of  a government , especially  when it  gives  them  more  power over  you to  oppress and  spy on you .  it is not that expensive to have   the  countries  traffic  routed to a  central point ,  and  filtered, scanned and abused. When Iran  can  stop all vpn and tor networks , India can  do alot  more.

So pack up you  bags and get your bugout bags,  every one  go off grid, and  live with the sadu's in the Himalayas and  smoke  ganja, see the mountains and swim in the  freezing  rivers. lol.

common, we are leaving in free country here is such amount of mess, nobody can find anybody.

Main mantra today in India - SO WHAT-, nobody cares, that is best what you can get, worst then that - sabotage.

that is true too, they started building such center about two years ago under roof on BlackBerry and another private company, who worked for Blackberry and provided sniffers and such. Now the sre trying to connect other mobile operators to the same pot. Good luck, mobile companies not happy about it as it will cost them a lot of money and government not paying. same time there is no any provision in law to force mobile operators to complain.

So far, what they famous for, they sold back door to US mil grade encryption standard to private company. Remarkable fact on its own, US Mil Grade Encryption standard fixed with back door. Thanks to Indian  babus the whole world got the news. that scandal was on TV if someone remember.
