Currently wanted by the US government for revealing the extent of the NSA domestic and global spying apparatus, whistleblower Edward Snowden’s latest leak reveals that Britain’s GCHQ also collected enormous amounts of metadata.
The leak includes a 96-page e-book written in 2011 by the Heilbronn Institute for Mathematical Research in Bristol, as well as a shorter document entitled “What’s the Worst That Can Happen?” Leaked by Edward Snowden and published online by Internet culture website Boing Boing, the documents serve as “a kind of checklist for spies who are seeking permission to infect their adversaries’ computers or networks with malicious software.”
“Some of the problems in this book look at ways of leveraging GCHQ’s passive SIGINT [signals intelligence] capabilities to give us a cyber edge, but researchers should always be on the look-out for opportunities to advance the cyber agenda,” the document reads.
