This is not new news.

This is what the wikipedia article looked like last year.

https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crypto_AG&oldid=897125887

“Le Temps has argued that Crypto AG had been actively working with the British, US and West German secret services since 1956, going as far as to rig manuals after the wishes of the NSA.[13][14] These claims were vindicated by US government documents declassified in 2015.”

It is news when the most recent accounts falsely portray this as limited to the Cold War when it was “broken up in 2017” and your cited link is a 5 year old French publication. The links on Wiki are many years old, approx 5 - 15 years old, are largely relegated to foreign press, and pose a certain aspect of “that was back then” when in fact at the end of this article, the CEO of the remaining vestiges of the original organization is now “worried”.

The CIA was trying to exit quietly in 2017 - 2018 (because Hillary Clinton did NOT win!) and split up the assets for sale (e.g., nothing to see here!) to cover its activities. Last month, when asked about the CIA ownership of Crypto, the lead executive of it’s last remaining assets “appeared visibly shaken” and worried about the safety of it’s employees when this information was released.
