Victor Norris Hamilton wrote an article in Izvestia detailing his work for this organization, three years after Martin and Mitchell defected from this organization. It’s not Mossad, but this organization allegedly collaborated with Unit 8200 on Operation Olympic Games, which built the computer worm Stuxnet. (-5[1])One director of (-5[1])this organization (15[2])told (15[1])Martin Hellman (-5[1])that presenting an algorithm was equivalent to “exporting (-5[1])nuclear weapons to a hostile foreign power.” (15[1])A predecessor to this organization uncovered Soviet (*) espionage of the Manhattan (-5[1])Project (-5[1])as part (-5[1])of its Venona Project. In a 2013 Guardian article, Glenn Greenwald (10[1]-5[1])revealed a court (-5[1])order that required (-5[1])Verizon (-5[1])to provide this organization (10[2])with (-5[1])telephone metadata. (10[2]-5[1])A former contractor for this organization (10[1])was granted (10[1])asylum (10[1])in Russia (10[1])after leaking tens (10[1])of thousands of its documents.
