NSA posed as Facebook to install malware on computers


The National Security Agency has the ability to covertly hack into computers on a mass scale by using automated systems, according to newly released, top-secret documents from former government contractor Edward Snowden. The NSA has been using a program code-named Turbine to contaminate computers and networks with malware "implants" capable of spying on users. The documents also say that the NSA pretended to be Facebook to install its malware. Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg shared harsh words for United States President Barack Obama on Thursday amid ongoing complaints from the tech community about the administration's role with regards to the internet. RT's Gayane Chichakyan takes a look at Zuckerburg's and the NSA's reactions to the leaked documents.
