UK Intelligence agency empowered to hack any device anywhere

The British government has admitted to possessing the power to hack into computers, phones and communications networks anywhere in the world. The startling revelation surfaced after a legal challenge by a civil rights group in 20-14. Privacy International sought to examine allegations relating to state-sponsored hacking uncovered by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The group later obtained a court document penned by government lawyers. There, the British government outlined its authority to infiltrate mobile phones, laptops, tablets and networks used on a daily basis. Privacy International says these powers amount to a massive invasion of privacy. It says intelligence agencies exploit communications networks in clandestine maneuvers that seriously undermine the security of the World Wide Web.
