Snowden: US govt has been hacking HK and China for years.

"Snowden said that according to unverified documents seen by the Post, the NSA had been hacking computers in Hong Kong and on the mainland since 2009. None of the documents revealed any information about Chinese military systems, he said.

One of the targets in the SAR, according to Snowden, was Chinese University and public officials, businesses and students in the city. The documents also point to hacking activity by the NSA against mainland targets."

I can only think that he's planning on defecting. This statement alone would imprison him for decades.

New claim that NSA regularly "hacks" into network routers to get access to traffic without the permission of the router owners.
