Are Your Bank Records Being Browsed By The NSA? Are Your Bank Records Being Browsed By The NSA? January 19, 2014 | Author: Chip Lamaster | Posted in Business
New details from Edward Snowden were released through the German magazine Spiegal showing that the secret NSA program “Follow the Money” records bank and credit card transactions. You might be tracking your own credit, disputing negative credit items on your credit reports, but the NSA could be watching what you are doing too.
NSA analysts said in an internal conference in 2010 that they had successfully searched Visa’s credit-card transaction network to focus on customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Spiegel reported. Their goal was “to collect

Spiegal states that the NSA can access collected traffic from many banks worldwide.
Records of credit-card transactions flowed into an NSA database, called Tracfin, that also contains data on interbank transfers handled by Swift

Spiegal said NSA documents indicated that the agency was able to access “traffic from numerous banks.”Mike Fish, Swift’s chief information officer, said at a conference in Dubai on Monday that the interbank group had “no evidence to suggest that there has ever been any unauthorized use of our network or our data. We constantly monitor cybersecurity threats, and once we believe there’s any risk to the security of the services, you can be certain we investigate very thoroughly

Visa, based in San Francisco, said that it was “not aware of any unauthorized access into our network. Visa takes data security seriously and, in response to any attempted intrusion, we’d pursue all available remedies to the fullest extent of the law. Further

Spiegel stated that the NSA’s Tracfin database in 2011 contained 180 million records, of which 84 percent were credit-card transactions.
Britain’s communications-intelligence agency, known as GCHQ, privately expressed concerns about the effort, the magazine said. Quoting a GCHQ report on the legal implications of collecting
