Cyberwar
The
US National Security Agency's (NSA) eight-year project titled Politerain has
been developing a cyber army of the future, NSA whitsleblower Edward
Snowden revealed to Der Spiegel in its latest exclusive.
"[Politerain
recruits people to] remotely degrade or destroy opponent computers, routers,
servers and network enabled devices by attacking the hardware," excerpts
of confidential documents seen by the publication said.
According
to internal NSA communications, the spying agency's mass surveillance
program uncovered in 2013 is only the tip of the iceberg — or
"Phase 0" — in the United States' three-pronged digital war
strategy.
