NSA spied on Pakistani civil, military leadership: WikiLeaks

STOCKHOLM: WikiLeaks has unearthed documents, stating the US National Security Agency (NSA) allegedly spied on Pakistani civilian and military leadership and hacked mobile phone system in the past.

The NSA is responsible for global monitoring, collection and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes.

On Saturday, WikiLeaks shared details of hundreds of cyber weapons variants which include code pointing towards NSA hacking Pakistan mobile system. The link shared in the tweet by WikiLeaks’ official account points to a Github repository containing the decrypted files pertaining to NSA cyber weapons.

A complete analysis of these files by a cyber security expert is needed to further highlight the severity of the situation. However, initial impressions seem to indicate that these leaks will certainly provide more substance to previous the allegations against NSA.
