According to the report, the NSA has planted back doors to access computers, hard drives, routers and other devices from companies such as Cisco, Dell, Western Digital, Seagate, Maxtor, Samsung and Huawei. The report describes a 50-page product catalog of tools and techniques that an NSA division called ANT, which stands for Advanced or Access Network Technology, uses to gain access to devices.

This follows a report that the security firm RSA intentionally allowed the NSA to create a backdoor into its encryption tokens.
