雅虎为美国政府效命：向NSA和FBI提供用户邮件信息 - 雅虎,Yahoo - IT资讯

IT资讯讯 根据路透社消息，雅虎从去年开始为美国政府效命，该公司开发一款软件，可以为NSA和FBI提供扫描后的数亿雅虎邮箱中的“有用信息”。

据悉，雅虎的做法是奉美国政府“密旨”，该公司公告曾表示“雅虎是一家守法的公司，遵守美国法律。”目前这款软件可能还在继续运行。虽然不清楚雅虎提交信息的具体细节，但这应该都与国家安全有关，NSA和FBI并没有对该消息评论。

这项任务的保密级别非常高，就连雅虎信息安全团队都无从知晓。软件被发现源于该公司前首席信息安全官Alex Stamos，他在发现这一“奇怪”的程序后，看到它居然有合法授权，可能是不愿意背黑锅，所以辞职走人。
