NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden has told a Hong Kong newspaper that the U.S
. government has been hacking Hong Kong and Chinese networks for at least
four years.
The comments were made as part of the South China Morning Post's exclusive
interview with Snowden — his first since revealing himself on Sunday.
Snowden reportedly showed reporter Lana Lam documents that showed the NSA
had been hacking computers in Hong Kong and on the mainland since 2009. He
estimated there were hundreds of targets in Hong Kong and mainland China,
including the Chinese University of Hong Kong. None of the documents
revealed any information about Chinese military systems, Snowden said.
“We hack network backbones – like huge internet routers, basically – that
give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers
without having to hack every single one,” Snowden told Lam.
China's own online espionage efforts were put in the spotlight earlier this
year after a report from U.S. security firm Mandiant that accused military-
linked groups of hacking major U.S. companies. After that story, China hit
back saying Washington was the "real hacking empire."

US whistle-blower Edward Snowden yesterday emerged from hiding in Hong Kong
and revealed to the South China Morning Post that he will stay in the city
to fight likely attempts by his government to have him extradited for
leaking state secrets.
In an exclusive interview carried out from a secret location in the city,
the former Central Intelligence Agency analyst also made explosive claims
that the US government had been hacking into computers in Hong Kong and on
the mainland for years.
At Snowden’s request we cannot divulge details about how the interview was
conducted.
A week since revelations that the US has been secretly collecting phone and
online data of its citizens, he said he will stay in the city “until I am
asked to leave”, adding: “I have had many opportunities to flee HK, but I
would rather stay and fight the US government in the courts, because I have
faith in HK’s rule of law.”
In a frank hour-long interview, the 29-year-old, who US authorities have
confirmed is now the subject of a criminal case, said he was neither a hero
nor a traitor and that:
US National Security Agency’s controversial Prism programme extends to
people and institutions in Hong Kong and mainland China;
The US is exerting “bullying’’ diplomatic pressure on Hong Kong to
extradite him;
Hong Kong’s rule of law will protect him from the US;
He is in constant fear for his own safety and that of his family.
Snowden has been in Hong Kong since May 20 when he fled his home in Hawaii
to take refuge here, a move which has been questioned by many who believe
the city cannot protect him.
“People who think I made a mistake in picking HK as a location
misunderstand my intentions. I am not here to hide from justice, I am here
to reveal criminality,” he said.
Snowden said that according to unverified documents seen by the Post, the
NSA had been hacking computers in Hong Kong and on the mainland since 2009.
None of the documents revealed any information about Chinese military
systems, he said.
One of the targets in the SAR, according to Snowden, was Chinese University
and public officials, businesses and students in the city. The documents
also point to hacking activity by the NSA against mainland targets.
Snowden believed there had been more than 61,000 NSA hacking operations
globally, with hundreds of targets in Hong Kong and on the mainland.
“We hack network backbones – like huge internet routers, basically – that
give us access to the communications of hundreds of thousands of computers
without having to hack every single one,” he said.
“Last week the American government happily operated in the shadows with no
respect for the consent of the governed, but no longer. Every level of
society is demanding accountability and oversight.”
Snowden said he was releasing the information to demonstrate “the hypocrisy
of the US government when it claims that it does not target civilian
infrastructure, unlike its adversaries”.
“Not only does it do so, but it is so afraid of this being known that it is
willing to use any means, such as diplomatic intimidation, to prevent this
information from becoming public.”
Since the shocking revelations a week ago, Snowden has been vilified as a
defector but also hailed by supporters such as WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange.
“I’m neither traitor nor hero. I’m an American,” he said, adding that he
was proud to be an American. “I believe in freedom of expression. I acted
in good faith but it is only right that the public form its own opinion.”
Snowden said he had not contacted his family and feared for their safety as
well as his own.
“I will never feel safe.
“Things are very difficult for me in all terms, but speaking truth to power
is never without risk,” he said. “It has been difficult, but I have been
glad to see the global public speak out against these sorts of systemic
violations of privacy.
“All I can do is rely on my training and hope that world governments will
refuse to be bullied by the United States into persecuting people seeking
political refuge.”
Asked if he had been offered asylum by the Russian government, he said: “My
only comment is that I am glad there are governments that refuse to be
intimidated by great power”.
Tens of thousands of Snowden’s supporters have signed a petition calling
for his pardon in the United States while many have donated money to a fund
to help him.
“I’m very grateful for the support of the public,” he said. “But I ask
that they act in their interest – save their money for letters to the
government that breaks the law and claims it noble.
“The reality is that I have acted at great personal risk to help the public
of the world, regardless of whether that public is American, European, or
Asian.”
The US consulate in Hong Kong could not be contacted yesterday on a public
holiday. | N********n
