Security experts have discovered leaked surveillance brochures revealing what's believed to be the next generation of spy gadgets.

The brochures are said to be for FinFisher, a surveillance program sold by Gamma Group, and include a wearable vest that captures the details of nearby phones and use this information to track their whereabouts.

Other leaked images, discovered by F-Secure, show a memory stick that can be used to steal the username and password of a wireless network in order to obtain personal details and banking logins, even if the network is encrypted.

On top of everything else, all of these new "invisible" snooping devices will make us completely paranoid about who we stand next to and who we talk to in public.

It's nuts.

Someone is going to make a mint inventing things for you and I to counter all this new hi tec snooping stuff the Government is using against us.  I wish I was smart enough to do it.


OT: I like that authors last name...I've heard it somewhere before.
