'Alongside the disturbing revelations of indiscriminate, global
surveillance carried out by the NSA and its Five Eyes friends, leaked
documents have shown another side of modern spying: the high-tech
gadgets created for the NSA's Tailored Access Operations group,
discussed by Techdirt at the end of last year. As its name suggests,
these are targeted operations, and with many of the serious concerns
about the use of blanket surveillance removed, it is hard not to be
impressed by the ingenuity of the devices. Of course, a natural question
is: could the rest of us have them too? According to a detailed and
fascinating article in Vice's Motherboard, the answer turns out to be
"yes".'
