00:30...points that form now this new ethereal layer around the planet that's only growing in all directions.
00:39A new report has been released from a group of digital detectives.
00:43They've tracked a high-tech spy ring that reaches around the world.
00:47They could extract any document they wanted.
00:49They could turn on web cameras, turn on audio devices.
00:52The web of intrigue started with the Dalai Lama who thought his computer had been hacked.
00:56These attackers were quite busy.
00:57This wasn't just targeted at human rights organizations. This was global.
01:02Our signals intelligence agencies were piggybacking off the GhostNet network.
01:06So in publishing the report, we basically broke up their party.
01:10Is it okay that the government sets up a giant digital x-ray machine over everything that we do?
01:18Because that's effectively where we're headed right now.
01:20What we see are acts of war against citizens using these very technologies.
01:26When you talk to your friend, you know that somebody's hearing.
01:29When you write an image, you suspect that somebody might have read it.
01:33And that's somebody who wants to hunt you down.
01:36The detective started reading all my Facebook posts.
01:39I was like, oh.
01:41And I laughed and he was like, I'm not joking with you.
01:43He requested something called the flying carpet, which is a torturing machine.
01:47I had to lay on it.
01:48The pain is unbelievable.
01:52Capabilities are being put in the hands of policymakers.
01:55Five years ago, they never imagined that they would have.
01:58This is where big data meets big brother.
02:02That didn't make me, that didn't make me alive.
