NSA sued over online security flaws

The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) filed a lawsuit against the National Security Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) for documents that detail how the government takes advantage of glitches in Internet code. "This FOIA suit seeks transparency on one of the least understood elements of the US intelligence community's toolset: security vulnerabilities," EFF legal fellow Andrew Crocker said. "These documents are important to the kind of informed debate that the public and the administration agree needs to happen in our country."
