Then why list specific companies and dates?

Either the companies on the PRISM list are willingly collaborating, or NSA bribed one or more employees, or NSA attacked their infrastructure.

If it wasn't willing cooperation, then the PRISM companies have a security breach to solve. None of them have said whether they have such a breach or not.




Right, I was just pointing out the possibility of your latter two options. There was also the possibility that PRISM was just a database of formal, court-ordered information.

I wish we had even more technical details.


That's no excuse. Someone in senior management has been bribed? You have a serious security breach unreported, undiagnosed? That's a whopping shareholder lawsuit coming at you if you don't hunt it down and terminate it.
