Looks like NSA and GCHQ have always had their fingers in every pie they could get to. If I were a customer of Crypto AG, I'd have freaked out on my sales contact a long time ago, and probably not have done business with them, but if I hadn't back then, I certainly would now.
It's an amazing find to discover multiple different redacted versions of a single document and to reconstruct the original from these parts.
Very similar to encrypting different data with same key multiple times giving the messages 'depth' that can be exploited.
Crypto AG is still so rigged by foreign powers that not even their staff know who owns and control the company.

Go figure.
Wasn't this common knowledge since the '80s? And yet Crypto AG is still in business.
