Quote

All major French political parties were targeted for infiltration by the CIA's human ("HUMINT") and electronic ("SIGINT") spies in the seven months leading up to France's 2012 presidential election. The revelations are contained within three CIA tasking orders published today by WikiLeaks as context for its forth coming CIA Vault 7 series. Named specifically as targets are the French Socialist Party (PS), the National Front (FN) and Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) together with current President Francois Hollande, then President Nicolas Sarkozy, current round one presidential front runner Marine Le Pen, and former presidential candidates Martine Aubry and Dominique Strauss-Khan.

So much irony in this one...

If the US was in on it then so were the others in Five Eyes.

So far it seems this was contained to just gathering information, of which I'd be surprised if this isn't done by everyone, on everything.

It is done by everyone, to everyone. No clean hands on this behavior - except maybe non-tech cultures.
