A bored hacktivist browsing an unsecured airline server stumbled upon national security secrets including the FBI's 'no-fly' list. She says what she found reveals a 'perverse outgrowth of the surveillance state.'

• A Swiss hacker says she found a copy of the FBI's "no-fly" list on an unsecured server.
• The 2019 list, with over 1.5 million entries, includes an overwhelming number of Muslim passengers.
• The server, maintained by CommuteAir, also held private employee data, such as passport numbers.

The FBI Terrorism Screening Center's secret "no-fly" list just got a lot less mysterious thanks to a bored Swiss hacker exploring unsecured servers in her free time.
