NSA in the news again

From Russia Today:
NSA bugged UN headquarters - report
The US National Security Agency (NSA) successfully cracked the encryption code protecting the United Nations� internal videoconferencing system, according to documents seen by Germany�s Der Spiegel.

The United States was not just busy spying on the European Union, the report revealed, but had its surveillance apparatus trained on the international body as well.

The publication reported on Sunday that the electronic breaching of the UN, which is headquartered in New York, occurred in the summer of 2012. Within three weeks of initially gaining access to the UN system, the NSA had increased the number of such decrypted communications from 12 to 458.

On one occasion, according to the report, while the Americans were attempting to break into UN communications, they discovered the Chinese were attempting to crack the encryption code as well.
It would be nice if some whistleblower leaked some of these documents -- the United Nations is a corrupt Marxist-leaning body and exposing its failures would be sweet. It could go away and that would make zero difference in the world. Do you want to do real good? Fund groups like Team Rubicon. Posted by DaveH at August 25, 2013 4:51 PM
