The Intercept reports Virginia-based government contractor Anomaly Six demonstrated its phone-tracking technology worked by surveilling National Security Agency and Central Intelligence Agency cellphones. The company claims it can track 3 billion devices in real time and is pitching to provide its technology to social media monitoring firm Zignal Labs, raising concerns around privacy and data disclosures by government contractors. U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., said it is a “national security threat if a data broker can track a couple hundred intelligence officials to their homes and around the world.”
