斯諾登稱美安全局在全球實施過6.1萬多次黑客行爲
NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden came out of hiding to speak with a Chinese newspaper today, claiming that the U.S. is also using its recently revealed surveillance tactics against China.
According to an interview Snowden gave to the South China Morning Post, the U.S. government has preformed over 61,000 “hacking operations” in countries everywhere. He also believes hundreds of those missions targeted the Chinese mainland, as well as Hong Kong, where Snowden is currently hiding out.
He has been in hiding since releasing a slide deck to the Washington Post outlining a government surveillance program called PRISM. Snowden came out a few days later, saying he worked as a defense contractor for the NSA and had access to such information. After that, he disappeared, only resurfacing today to make these comments.
According to the slide deck he released, PRISM is a data collection program set up to collect information from a number of top tech companies including Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, and others.
Snowden explained to the SCMP that these individual company requests aren’t the only way the NSA gets data.
“We hack network backbones ―like huge internet routers, basically ―that give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers without having to hack every single one,” he told the publication.
To those who criticize his choice to make a safe haven of Hong Kong, he explained that he intends to fight for his rights there, and that the Chinese city has a rich history of free speech efforts.
據美國科技網站VentureBeat 6月13日報道，美國國家安全局監控計劃告密者愛德華▪斯諾登（Edward Snowden）現身接受一家中國報紙採訪，聲稱美國也對中國使用了最近曝光的監控策略。
據《南華早報》（South China Morning Post）對斯諾登的採訪，美國政府在全球進行了超過6.1萬次的“黑客行動”。他還認爲，其中有數百次任務是針對中國內地和斯諾登目前藏身的香港。
自從斯諾登向《華盛頓郵報》(Washington Post)公佈了一套幻燈片，簡要概述了美國政府名爲"棱鏡"（PRISM）監視計劃以後，就消失不見了。幾天後，斯諾登現身，稱他是美國國家安全局的國防合同員工，並能訪問這些信息。之後，他就消失了，直到今天出現並發表以上的言論。
根據他發佈的幻燈片，“棱鏡”是一項數據採集計劃，從一些頂級科技公司包括Facebook、谷歌、微軟、蘋果等一些大科技公司收集信息。
斯諾登向《南華早報》解釋說，對這些公司的要求並不是美國國家安全局收集數據的唯一的方式。
"我們擁有骨幹網絡——基本上像巨大的互聯網路由器——讓我們獲取成千上萬計算機的通信，而不需要一個個地破解"，他對《南華早報》說道。
對於那些批評他選擇香港作爲避風港的人，他解釋說，他打算在香港爭取自己的權利，並且稱香港擁有悠久的爭取言論自由歷史。
