Report: NSA not only creates, but also hijacks, malware

Der Spiegel: U.S. National Security Agency reportedly hijacks and repurposes third-party malware. Leaked documents show the agency uses its network of servers to monitor botnets to insert its own malware. The agency also intercepts and collects data that is stolen by third party malware programs, Der Spiegel reports. Documents also shine more light on the malware capabilities of the NSA and the Five Eyes partners, including Canada, Australia and New Zealand, the magazine says. Der Spiegel also released samples of an old keylogger program dubbed QWERTY that likely acted as a WARRIORPRIDE plug-in.”]
