NSA spied on targeted Danish ministries and companies

NSA used a top secret Danish-American spy collaboration to spy on central ministries and private companies of Denmark. NSA has also used the cable collaboration for targeted espionage against Denmark’s closest allies. This is the conclusion of a strictly confidential report by an internal whistleblower from the Danish Defense Intelligence Service (FE) around 2015.

According to Danish Broadcasting Corporation, the suspected espionage took place through a spy program that the NSA had placed at the Danish Defense Intelligence Service, to search the data that the intelligence services extracts from Internet cables.

Yes, the main job of the NSA is industrial espionage, which Denmark as a small country are bullied to help NSA to do. Denmark is a trade partner, and the NSA is spying on Danish companies, while trying to make a stink about China and others stealing US business secrets. Nice double standards...
