US spy services 'hacked into sim card maker', based in Amsterdam - DutchNews.nl

For the first time there is concrete evidence that the US security service NSA hacked a company in the Netherlands, the Volkskrant reports on Friday.

The information gleaned in the hack will allow the Americans to listen in to foreign telephone traffic without the knowledge of the country involved or the provider, the newspaper says.

The paper bases its claim on an article in online magazine The Intercept, which uses information from whistleblower Edward Snowden.
