Abraxas and Trapwire: the technology and personnel revealed
#5
Breaking: Trapwire surveillance linked to Anonymizer and transport smart cards
POSTED BY DARKERNET â‹… AUGUST 14, 2012 â‹… 10 COMMENTS
[Image: art-trapwire-620x349.jpg?w=300&h=168]Anonymizer, the company that brings you free anonymous email facilities, called nyms, as well as similar secure services used by activists all over the world, is actually owned by Cubic Corporations, the parent company that owns Abraxis, which in turn owns Trapwire. So, it's possible, if not probable that all those activists around the world who believe their emails are safe may well be sending messages that go straight into Trapwire, the surveillance system that monitors activists. This could be lifted straight out of a political conspiracy movie but it isn't. Furthermore, Cubic Corporation runs transport smart cards around the world, including USA, Australia and London (Oyster card): a link with Trapwire too?The above info has actually been available for some time, but it is only thanks to the information about Trapwire and Abraxas, hacked from Stratfor files by Anonymous and published by Wikileaks, that the full picture is starting to emerge.1. AnonymizerRe. Anonymizer, this was acquired by Abraxas in 2008. Two years later, Cubic acquired Abraxas for $124 million in cash. Cubic internal communications explain that the RFI for Cubic's persona software' was actually written for Anonymizer. Quote from Richard "Hollis" Helms (former CIA and then founder of Abraxas): "I am also pleased to announce that Lance Cottrell, the Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Anonymizer, will become our Chief Scientist and continue to pursue his advocacy of privacy for people around the world. Bill Unrue, Anonymizer's CEO, will assume the position of President of Anonymizer which will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Abraxas Corporation. Bill will continue to pursue Anonymizer's goals to provide proprietary technologies and complementary capabilities that offer unique, multi-layered identity protection that enhances the traditional network perimeter defenses of consumers, corporations and government agencies."2. Transportation smart cardsA. Australia:
In 2010 Cubic Corporation signed a $370 million contract with the NSW Government to provide Sydney's electronic ticketing system for public transport. It was also awarded a $65 million contract to provide services to NSW's CityRail. It also runs the Brisbane "go card" system. It operates in Australia as Cubic Transportation with offices in Sydney, Brisbane and Perth. In 2008 it also opened a defence subsidiary based in Queensland, Cubic Defence Australia, run by Mark Horn.
B. UK
Cubic designed, developed and installed the Oyster Card system for London's Underground and buses.
C. Other
In 1972, Cubic acquired the first Automatic Fare Collection (AFC) system for Chicago's Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. By the late 1970s, Cubic had installed AFC systems for the Hong Kong Mass Transit Railway Corporation and the Eastern Suburbs Railway in Sydney. Soon came the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) system in San Francisco, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority and the Pennsylvania Port Authority Transit Company AFC system.
