According to new documents from New Zealand's Government
Communications Security Bureau (GCSB), the NSA illegally used
technology to spy on Megaupload founder Kim Dotcom. "The New Zealand
Herald first reported that the GCSB told the nation's high court that
it ceased all surveillance of Dotcom in early 2012, but that 'limited'
amounts of communications from Dotcom were later intercepted by its
technology without the bureau's knowledge," reports The Hill. From the
report: Dotcom was surveilled by the NSA and the GCSB in a joint
intelligence operation named Operation Debut. According to the Herald,
that surveillance was scheduled to end in January 2012, but the United
States continued to use New Zealand's technology. According to court
documents obtained by the Herald, "Limited interception of some
communications continued beyond the detasking date without the
knowledge of GCSB staff." The court papers don't explain how the NSA
was able to use the GCSB's spying technology without the bureau's
knowledge. According to the Herald, "The GCSB documents do contain an
admission of NSA involvement, although it was not made outright."
Dotcom is facing charges of copyright infringement and money
laundering related to Megaupload, a file-sharing website shut down in
2012. He is currently fighting U.S. attempts to extradite him from New
Zealand.
"New Zealanders must know how much power a foreign state holds over
their private information," Dotcom said.
"The NSA has unrestricted access to GCSB surveillance systems. In
fact, most of the technology the GCSB uses was supplied by the NSA."
