Looks like the NSA isn't the only one using dirty digital tricks to hack its targets. Allied spy agencies abroad are using the same (black) bag of tools.
According to reports published by German magazine
Der Spiegel, Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), the U.K. equivalent to the NSA,
spoofed LinkedIn and Slashdot pages to break into the computers of network engineers who worked for global roaming exchange providers in Europe. The fake sites planted malware on the victims' systems, which in turn would gain access to the voice and data routers at the telecoms where the victims worked.
