Der Guardian berichtet über neue Snowden-Enthüllungen, wonach der britische Geheimdienst GCHQ investigative Journalisten besonders beobachtet und vom Gefährdungsgrad zwischen Terroristen und Hacker einordnet.
GCHQ information security assessments, meanwhile, routinely list journalists between “terrorism” and “hackers” as “influencing threat sources”, with one matrix scoring journalists as having a “capability” score of two out of five, and a “priority” of three out of five, scoring an overall “low” information security risk.
