Secret Surveillance Programs of the NSA: Is Your Data Private?

The real answer is there is no way to know. Since they can force anyone to lie about FISA subpoenas, you can't believe what anyone says. I had that conversation with the folks at Spiceworks when I was still there. The told me that the NSA hadn't contacted them, but I was like - how do you know if your hosting provider hasn't already given everything up without your knowing? Kris told me the database is encrypted, but is there a backdoor? They're just hoping that the NSA doesn't notice that they have all this data about business networks handily gathered in one place.

And, as you mentioned Kris might have been lieing to you because of a FISA...

Yup. Even internal IT can be forced to lie to their businesses. There is no security in the US due to the suspension of law involving these situations. They operate as a completely renegade legal system. No laws govern this, no court oversees it.

For any semblance of keeping data from the NSA you need to air gap your data from US soil and US staff. You need to ensure that no American can be pressured to hack and steal data out of the country it is in. That's a starting point.
The NSA are agents if some foreign power, I swear, with a mandate to force big business out of the US. The NSA are one of the greatest threats our generation will face. Openly foreign agents have no means to be as damaging to the American people as these guys.
