Former CIA contractor Edward Snowden has alleged that NSAs surveillance is even more widespread than first thought.


The latest documents released by Snowden, first published on Glenn Greenwald's new Interceptwebsite, suggest that the NSA's approach to monitoring targets' computers using eavesdropping malware has been on a near industrial scale, rather than carefully targeted.


Amongst the many tools used to carry out the targeted attacks - via compromised routers or Facebook - is an automated infection application known as ‘TURBINE' that can scale to millions of infection attempts a day.
