GCHQ finally admits it “persistently” hacked computers and phones in the UK and abroad (ibtimes.co.uk).
“For the first time, UK intelligence agency GCHQ has admitted that it does hack into computers and devices to install malware to spy on people both in the UK and abroad. The admission was made before the UK’s independent Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which is hearing complaints by human rights advocacy group Privacy International and seven internet service providers (ISPs) that GCHQ and the Foreign Office broke privacy laws to illegally hack into phones, computers and networks around the world.”
Well, there you go. To be honest, I’d always expected they did, and still will do despite Home Secretary Theresa May forced to backtrack on internet “snooping” plans at the start of last month (Latest Picks 2nd Nov. 2015).
So again, for me, you and GCHQ, it’s musical break time.
