Reuters ^ | (Sunday) June 14, 2015 | Costas Pitas

Britain has pulled out agents from live operations in "hostile countries" after Russia and China cracked top-secret information contained in files leaked by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden, the Sunday Times reported.

Security service MI6, which operates overseas and is tasked with defending British interests, has removed agents from certain countries, the newspaper said, citing unnamed officials at the office of British Prime Minister David Cameron, the Home Office (interior ministry) and security services.

Russia and China have both managed to crack encrypted documents which contain details of secret intelligence techniques that could allow British and American spies to be identified, the newspaper said citing officials.

First it makes the news that hackers got all of our military and intelligence employment records for both past and present Federal employees, and only a few hours later there's a story about how the records Snowden led to some of our operatives being exposed.

The Benghazi thingee was caused by a video!

Wonder when they're going to send out Susan Rice (Director-NSA, and Liar-Benghazi) to do the J'Accuse! thing on Snowden?

A truly random key of the length used in encryption can not be broken except by brute force, even by the NSA. Of course you “could” guess it on the first try, more realistically it would take multiple (likely tens of” decades with the fastest computers we have.

The Ruskies and the Chinese didn’t crack our code...

Any moment now, Susan Rice will come out for the administration and claim it was the Snowden video that caused the Chinese & Russian IT guys to riot...

Snowden is responsible for any deaths that result from his unauthorized release of data. Its that simple. Snowden owns that.

Obama?? Snowden did this. Not Obama. Regardless of how guilty Obama is, Snowden’s actions are just as bad, and if one of our spy types die, he is guilty of murder!!! You can’t say Obama’s crime is worse. This guy is guilty. He ran to a communist country seeking protection. He could have done this another way. Not putting our people, the UK’s, other nations under covers in jeopardy. Have you stopped and thought of the NUMBER OF YEARS of work it took to put these people in place, to build their organizations, contacts, etc. and IT IS ALL GONE in a second. They all have to go on the run and get out or be captured or killed!!! Snowden did it. He turned the info over to our enemies, and YES I still consider Russia to be the Soviet Union because they are run by former Soviet’s and Red China is still RED China to me. Call them what you might, they are still communist and still RED!

The “national security” certainly doesn’t relate to any nation of mine; mine was lost a long time ago. Our government has adopted the techniques of Red China; we know that because of Snowden.

so it’s okay for Snowden to bring national security secrets to people who want to destroy us??

just so you can feel good about it??

Swim to Cuba, you’ll like it there, too

Clinton handing China the secrets from Los Alamos laboratories was far more harmful than info snowden handed over to the Russians. Have to remember by the time the leaks got out and then later decrypted by whomever, it was...old.

Snowden proved that the people who want to destroy us are in Washington DC; I’m sorry you can’t accept that. Red China and Russia are in cahoots with those same people.

"I think the government just sees who you call on the phone, not listening to every second on the phone."

It's just my opinion, but I bet that they have all of the message (phone) or text (email/chat) recorded as well.

There were multiple TV specials about Hansen, and at least one about Walker.
