Some hail him as hero etc,, but this kind of info leaking to our #1 enemy is NOT helping the US, or those who work to expose Chinese hacking on US


NSA leaker Edward Snowden: U.S. targets China with hackers - The Washington Post

HONG KONG — Edward Snowden, the self-confessed leaker of secret surveillance documents, claimed Wednesday that the United States has mounted massive hacking operations against hundreds of Chinese targets since 2009.

The former contractor, whose work at the National Security Agency gave him access to highly classified U.S. intelligence, made the assertions in an interview with the South China Morning Post. The newspaper said he showed it “unverified documents” describing an extensive U.S. campaign to obtain information from computers in Hong Kong and mainland China.

“We hack network backbones — like huge Internet routers, basically — that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” he told the newspaper.

According to Snowden, the NSA has engaged in more than 61,000 hacking operations worldwide, including hundreds aimed at Chinese targets. Among the targets were universities, businesses and public officials

What's the big deal? Like they didn't know we were doing the same thing that they do to us?

He went from potential hero to traitor.

Granted the information is "known" you still don't go giving information to the country's enemies.

The deal doesn't get much bigger than handing information like this to our #1 foreign enemy.

Key word people.."assertion".

Network backbones is what they hack.
That's the world, that's everybody.

And it was brought to light in 2005..Room 641A.

More BS propaganda by a US MSM..treason and espionage now eh ?

[HappyTexan]

The US is targeting the world. They want it all.
Go read about Germany and the UK and how upset they are.
Get a clue.

Yeah does anybody still wonder where stuxnet came from? The NSA hacks China. No sheet. I say it all the time. I don't see him revealing any seal team six hackers like Obama did so all should be well.

[workingclasshero]

saw a pic of him....looks like a geek...at first I thought he was Seth Green (quick glance)


he should be tried and go to jail


its one thing to show an abuse of the government, its another to exposed national security measures


his intentions 'might' be on the correct path, but his actions we certainly not

[Ponderosa]

So now he is meeting with Chinese newspapers and worse divulging US intelligence details. Told ya so...

[Mashed Potatoes]

China has American corporate and government networks, and we do the same to them.

This revelation is nothing new or surprising.

Hopefully he can release whatever else he has before "they" catch up with him.
