In 2012, the NSA hacked into the UN's video conference system to obtain access, with one NSA official proclaiming "The data traffic gives us internal video teleconferences of the United Nations (yay!)," Der Spiegel reports.
The NSA also spied on EU delegates in New York in the year 2012 and obtained information about the EU's IT infrastructure and servers.
Der Spiegel reports that the NSA also runs a monitoring program in over 80 US embassies across the world, without the knowledge of host countries, in collaboration with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).
While these are not the first revelations of US spying on UN officials or EU officials, they are likely to touch off further outrage as the public continues to learn of the staggeringly vast scope of NSA secret surveillance programs.

Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back. As a people-powered nonprofit news outlet, we cover issues the corporate media never will, but we can only continue with our readers’ support. |
