False flags & cyber wars: New Snowden leaks reveal Canada spy agency’s ‘deception toolbox’

Snowden’s leaks had shown that the CSE targets cellphones with the highly sophisticated WARRIORPRIDE malware and also maintains a botnet, or a whole network of infected private computers, to attack targets without giving itself away. Back in 2013, the NSA leaks implied that Canadians were also allegedly involved in spying on devices connected to the Brazilian mining and energy ministry – which was part of what prompted accusations of industrial espionage and a diplomatic row between Brasilia and Washington.
