Chapter 1653: Prism designer

After half an hour, Snake Eye came out of the room. He smiled and bumped his fists with a acquaintance black man at the door, then turned and walked to the side of the road, opened the door and got into the car.
"Why so long?" Crazy Horse frowned.
"It's not easy to persuade them." Snake Eye shook his head. "The street gangsters have the philosophy and street wisdom of street gangsters. But the good news is that I have got what I want."
"Why, do you know the address of the strategist?" Crazy Horse whispered.
"It's not that convenient, it's just a phone call. These black market dealers will call them to notify them after the items arrive." Snake Eye took out a piece of paper. "It is a prepaid one-time mobile phone, without registration, even Kobain is difficult to trace."
"No matter what, it's a gain." Crazy Horse started the car and drove back with Snake Eye.
After returning to the temporary residence, Lin Rui and Jiang An have also returned. "Boss, I found it." Snake Eye handed him the piece of paper with the number on it. "This is their phone number for receiving the goods. This Russian guy is very cautious and left no more traces."
Lin Rui took the phone number and said, "Can this be checked?"
"It's not very clear. You have to ask Kebain about it, but this kind of phone calls should be difficult to trace." Jiang An frowned.
"Contact him, no matter what, it's always good to give it a try." Lin Rui nodded.
Jiang Yan nodded his head to open the tactical computer and Cobain connection on St. Kaiser Island, and soon they established a satellite connection. After listening to his report, Cobain remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
"How about Cobain, can you hack and trace this phone?" Lin Rui asked.
"This... let's be honest, this communication network is not the same as hacking a network server." Cobain whispered, "I am not an expert in this area, but even a communication expert can't do much."
"So it's useless if we hold this phone number? Can't find this person?" Lin Rui frowned.
"I can't help it, but one person can do it. And I can find him, you may talk to him with Yi." Cobain whispered.
"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Rui said strangely.
"A technical expert, this person is Ricky. He used to work for AT&T. It was an American telecommunications company that once monopolized the U.S. telecommunications market. This company is currently one of the three major telecommunications suppliers in the United States. Strong, you can often see their names appearing on the list of the world's top 500." Cobain replied.
"This Ricky is from a telecommunications company? With this, he can help us find Makovsky?" Lin Rui frowned.
"The way Ricky can help us is not that he is a senior engineer of a telecommunications company. It is that he was once in charge of an intelligence project of the National Security Agency, and he was one of the designers. This intelligence project is called prism. A top-secret electronic surveillance program implemented by the US National Security Agency nsa since 2007. The official internal name of the program is us-984xn.
Cobain replied.
"Project Prism?! So, this guy is one of the designers of Project Prism?" Jiang Jian was surprised.
"Yes. The Prism project can conduct in-depth monitoring of instant messaging and existing data. The permitted monitoring objects include any customer who uses the services of the participating company outside the United States, or any US citizen who communicates with foreigners.
Data emails, video and voice chats, videos, photos, voip chat content, file transfers, login notifications, and social network details available to the National Security Agency in the prism program.
This program can access a large number of personal chat logs, stored data, voice communications, file transfers, and personal social network data. The U.S. government confirmed that it does require U.S. telecommunications companies to provide millions of private call records, including the length of the personal call, the location of the call, and the phone numbers of both parties. "Cobain replied.
"I've heard of this. In 12 years, this plan was exposed by one of their former employees. This monitoring plan of the US government caused a great sensation. But I heard that this project should have been forced to close." Lin Rui frowned.
"It did close part of it, but it was just a look. Most of the plans are still going on. It may be difficult to lock the location of the phone based on a phone number that has never been called. This may be difficult in other countries, but You are in the United States. If you find Ricky, you can find the person with the phone. I will give you Ricky’s address. Fortunately, he is near you." Cobain tapped the keyboard, suddenly Frowned, "Damn it, this is a little troublesome."
"What's the matter, is he not in Virginia? Or is he not even in the United States?" Jiang An said helplessly, "If this is the case, we have nothing to do. We don't have much time to find this person. Wait in place. Maybe the black market dealers will arrive in a few days, and then we will still be able to find them."
"But in this way, we will waste a few days. Now every minute is precious to us." Yelena whispered.
"That's not the case, listen to me. This person named Ricky is currently near you, and very close. But it may be troublesome for you to find him. Because he is now in Quantico, the FBI training center. After the Prism Project was stopped, he should have been recruited as a teaching staff in monitoring.
Of course, several of his colleagues were also recruited by the CIA and the National Security Agency. After all, they are very valuable to intelligence agencies. "Cobain replied.
"So this Ricky is currently in the National Institute of FBI of Quantico of the FBI?" Lin Rui frowned, "If we want to find him, we have to sneak into the academy?"
"Yes, besides, I can't think of any other way to get close to him. Because there is almost completely isolated from the outside world." Cobain whispered. "It's difficult to see him, and I don't know if he will agree to you. There is the FBI's site, their training center. If he refuses to agree, you can't force him."
"I think it's worth a try. We can pretend to be an FBI agent and ask him to help check this phone number. He works in this department, and he will certainly not refuse." Jiang An replied.
"Is this possible?" Lin Rui frowned, "What if it is exposed? Will this alarm Makovsky's group? These are issues that we need to consider carefully."
