NSA Infected 50,000 Computer Networks With Malicious Software

NSA is a subagency of the DOD and is headquartered inside a military base.
Didn't stop them from scaring seven shades of shit out of the Russians before, during and after WWII though.
You are aware that the Director of the NSA is Keith Alexander, an active duty 4-star general in the US Army, right? If you look at the previous NSA Directors, you'll probably notice a curious pattern.
Do you even lift?
These aren't the 'roids you're looking for.
For contrast, Finland has a population significantly smaller than New York City.
And the original question was "What country doesn't spy on allies?"
Wasn't this exactly what the USA declared to be considered an act of war, that would justify retaliation with conventional weapons?
And the people with political power are the ones who stand to get even richer if it does start another war (digital or conventional). They don't care who else dies or if the economy as a whole goes down the shitter as long as they make money. The US's defense budget is HUGE, how much of that goes to private contracts? In 2011, $374 billion went to private contracts, 15 times greater than any other US federal agency.
AFAIK it is illegal for Finnish government agents to stage hostile operations inside foreign nations.
It is illegal for the NSA to do what they are doing too, but that doesn't seem to be stopping them.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_(software) was the hint at that within the USA.
If in doubt change brands and try Kaspersky.
Domestic spying is now "Benign Information Gathering"
