Swiss Spooks Warn Of Counter-Terrorism Intelligence Breach

A Swiss IT technician working for a Swiss intelligence service may have compromised U.S. and British counter-terrorism operations. The suspect worked for the NDB, Switzerland’s federal intelligence service, for eight years. He reportedly had administrator-level rights to most of the spy agency’s networks, including ones storing highly secret information. Authorities were tipped off by Swiss bank UBS, which had traced an attempt to open a new, numbered bank account to the IT technician. In 2009, MI6 caught Daniel Houghton, one of its computer programmers, trying to sell cutting-edge email interception technology.”]
