The most daring operation in history! How did the CIA use encryption equipment to spy on more than 100 countries?

Speaking of this intelligence coup, we have to mention Switzerland. The biggest impression everyone has on Switzerland should be watches. Swiss watches are world-famous. Therefore, Swiss mechanical equipment is also very advanced in the world, and Swiss encryption equipment is also quite powerful. The fact that the United States was able to launch this intelligence coup was not something he could accomplish alone. He also had the powerful helper of Germany.

This company is very well-known, so the encoding machines it manufactures have been imported by many countries, including Iran, India and other Asian countries, as well as many Latin American countries. Products from this company have been purchased in nearly 120 countries around the world. One can imagine the impact this company will have on the world after being acquired by the United States and Germany.

After the company was controlled by the United States, counterfeit programs were implanted into the equipment in advance. When the countries that purchased the equipment began to use these devices, the United States could use the counterfeit programs implanted in advance to crack the encrypted files of various countries and obtain a large amount of intelligence information. . In 1986, the United States bombed the Berlin Ballroom in Germany, but the United States did not know who did it. However, in the cracked documents of various countries, it found documents in which Libyan officials congratulated each other, so they launched a bombing campaign against Libya. Retaliatory attack.
