Security expert Bruce Schneier reacted to yesterdays new revelations about the NSA by asserting that theres probably a second leaker in addition to Edward Snowden.
As we highlighted yesterday, reporters who conducted an analysis of the NSAs deep packet inspection rules discovered that the federal agency was placing people in an extremists database simply for searching for information about Tor and Tails, an anonymous browser and a privacy-friendly operating system.
Although the authors did not specify the source of the revelation (for obvious reasons), Schneier believes the information could have been provided by a new whistleblower.
I do not believe that this came from the Snowden documents. I also dont believe the TAO catalog came from the Snowden documents. I think theres a second leaker out there, wrote Schneier on his blog.
Journalist Glenn Greenwald, who has worked closely with Edward Snowden in reporting on leaked NSA documents over the past year, appeared to agree with Schneier, tweeting, Seems clear at this point.
