« The [U.S.] American intelligence service – [National Security Agency] NSA – infected more than 50,000 computer networks worldwide with malicious software designed to steal sensitive information. »

« The Dutch intelligence services – AIVD and MIVD – have displayed interest in hacking. The Joint Sigint Cyber Unit – JSCU – was created early in 2013. The JSCU is an inter-agency unit drawing on experts with a range of IT skills. This new unit is prohibited by law from performing the type of operations carried out by the NSA as Dutch law does not allow this type of internet searches [sic]. »
