‘Anonymous’ starts slow leaking of cabinet confidences, CSE spy attempts

Members of the hacker group Anonymous released a confidential cabinet document today revealing secrets about the overseas activities of Canada’s spy agencies. The breach revealed both the scope of Canada’s surveillance network and the volume of communications its old and outdated system manages.

The group also released a video claiming that the Communications Security Establishment (CSE) tried to spy on President Barack Obama on Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s orders — and that the espionage, when it was discovered, put the Keystone pipeline project in jeopardy.

Only three foreign stations of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) — based in Washington, London and Paris — have been publicly acknowledged but a document marked “Secret” and allegedly from the Treasury Board of Canada says that Canada has 25 foreign stations, “many of which are located in developing countries and/or unstable environments.”

The stations are staffed by about 70 CSIS personnel who handle approximately 22,500 messages annually — not including “the high volume of extremely sensitive traffic from the Washington station,” according to the document.

The document is dated February 6, 2014 and outlines a proposal to approve approximately $3 million in additional funds to “extend the Service’s (CSIS’s) secure corporate network environment to its foreign stations.”
