NSA director booed during ‘unconvincing’ Blackhat conference speech
National Security Agency Director Keith Alexander was jeered as he pleaded with professional hackers and cyber-security experts to reconsider the indiscriminate NSA surveillance during a speech at the annual Black Hat conference in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Alexander claimed that the surveillance methods, disclosed by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden, have been mischaracterized by the media and are subject to rigorous government oversight. He was approximately 30 minutes into his speech when an audience member, later revealed to be 30-year-old security consultant Jon McCoy, shouted “Freedom!”
“Exactly,” Alexander replied from the stage. “We stand for freedom.”
“Bullshit!” McCoy said.
“Not bad,” the NSA director retorted. “But I think what you’re saying is that in these cases, what’s the distinction, where’s the discussion and what tools do we have to stop this.”
“No, I’m saying I don’t trust you,” McCoy said over applause.
“You lied to Congress,” another voice jumped in. “Why would people believe you’re not lying to us right now?”
“I haven’t lied to Congress,” said Alexander, who is notoriously press averse. “I do think it’s important for us to have this discussion. Because in my opinion, what you believe is what’s written in the press without looking at the facts. This is the greatest technical center of gravity in the world. I ask that you all look at those facts.”
Hacker Karsten Nohl, who attended the conference, told RT that Alexander’s speech, while applauded by supporters, offered little new information in his defense of the program.
