Wikileaks Publishes “Spy Files Russia” Detailing Russia’s Mas<\/a>s Surveillance System<\/h3>\n
<\/section>\n
\n
Perhaps in an attempt to refute recurring allegations that it has traditionally focused on exposing only US state secrets, if not being an outright covert and subversive Moscow front, today Wikileaks released a new cache of documents <\/a>which it claims detail surveillance apparatus used by the Russian state to spy on Internet and mobile users. It\u2019s the first time the organization has leaked material directly pertaining to the Russian state.<\/div>\n

In its summary <\/a>of the cache of mostly Russian-language documents, Wikileaks claims they show how a long-established Russian company which supplies software to telcos is also installing infrastructure – with the government’s blessing – that enables Russian state agencies to tap into, search and spy on citizens\u2019 digital activity, suggesting a similar state-funded mass surveillance program to the one utilized by the U.S.\u2019s NSA or by GCHQ in the U.K<\/strong>. (both of which were detailed in the 2013 Snowden disclosures).<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

And speaking of, shortly following the publication, another famous whistleblower, one also exiled and currently residing in Russia, Edward Snowden tweeted “Plot twist: @Wikileaks publishes details on Russia’s increasingly oppressive internet surveillance industry.”<\/strong><\/p>\n
