Britain is "hacking" into undersea cables and similar to intercept email / comms traffic and gather information.

This is passive and not an "attack" on infrastructure or computers.

So is it how the Petroleum-companies' computers were compromised?

Cause the rumor spread was Iran had compromised them by virus attack?

What else is new? They are allies of America, don't you remember?

This is no longer a secret and how I wish the party whose constitution and laws were abused must tell them to stop!!!

This is shocking how an Arab government allows this, if it is true.
