  • Documents reviewed by Wired have revealed details of a secret call surveillance program run by the US government with the help of AT&T.
  • Millions of Americans have been spied on by law enforcement without their knowledge and without good cause.
  • AT&T has reportedly been storing and sharing call records of its subscribers with authorities for over a decade.
