Documents made available earlier this year by former NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal that Britain’s top spy agency, in conjunction with the National Security Agency, conspired to feed journalists and others misinformation, in a bid to discredit them and to implement a series of “dirty tricks” for use against nations, hackers, terrorist groups and others.
Such tricks, NBC News and The Intercept reported, include the release of computer viruses, as well as spying on journalists and diplomats, jamming computers and phones, and using sex to lure targets into so-called “honey traps.”
The report continued:
Documents taken from the National Security Agency by Edward Snowden and exclusively obtained by NBC News describe techniques developed by a secret British spy unit called the Joint Threat Research and Intelligence Group (JTRIG) as part of a growing mission to go on offense and attack adversaries ranging from Iran to the hacktivists of Anonymous.
The documents, which came from presentations developed in 2010 and 2012 for spy conferences sponsored by the NSA, reveal that the agency’s real goals were to “destroy, deny, degrade [and] disrupt” enemy targets by “discrediting” them, spreading disinformation and hampering communications.
Worry over the ‘integrity’ of the Internet
