Cryptome: NSA Latiff Biz (which was not true at all)

[Juha-Matti Laurio <juha-matti.laurio () netti fi>]

On Sunday 11th Nov an anonymous contributor sent the following information to Cryptome:

"Subject: More indication of NSA eavesdropping
The following screenshots were taken as of 09:00 PM (GMT-03:00) at November 09, 2007.

There is a VERY suspect domain called "www.latiff.biz", which apparently serves as a mirror (or something else) for Google 
and Microsoft websites."
--clip--

Several screenshots pointing to DomainTools Whois and Netcraft database information were included too.

This week several clarification type posts have been released:

"I suspect the Latiff.biz website is just yet another manifestation of prolific web entrepreneur:- Mohamad Latiff Bin Rahim ("Mo 
Latiff", who is listed as the Latiff.biz domain owner)."
--clip--

And this is the latest information:
"The "nsa-latiff" file is a snooze.  Anyone can point their domain at someone else's web server.  The www.latiff.biz site isn't hosted 
on the same network as the NSA's website, it's just an alias for www.nsa.gov. How precious!"
