Title: Britain pulls out spies as Russia, China crack Snowden files
Post by: KZN02 on June 14, 2015, 08:18:34 pm
Oh boy, after the last bit of news about Chinese hackers obtained US info (http://gawker.com/ap-chinese-hackers-stole-security-clearance-docs-for-s-1710986576), we get this (http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/14/britain-security-iduskbn0ou02420150614?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_content=557d362a04d3015893000001&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook).

Something about this makes me think it's just scapegoating Snowden given the timing of these news, and Snowden claimed he did not take information that would jeopardize US security or something.

I'll hold off my judgment until we get more information.
