According to a Hong Kong Wen Wei Po report, the German public television station "ARD" previously released a report exposing the use of a data system called "XKEYSCORE" by the National Security Agency (NSA) to secretly track down users who use anonymous networks.

Experts familiar with Snowden believe the information quoted in the report is not the same as the one provided by Snowden. It is suspected that another director of the National Security Bureau has appeared in a bid to evade the news that Snowden broke the news.

The report carefully describes the NSA's program written using the XKEYSCORE system, which collects user data, including their IP addresses, from anonymous programs such as the Tor network. Tor network can hide the user's IP address for anonymous browsing the Internet, widely used by activists and dissidents. Hackers or lawless elements also use anonymous networks for illegal activities.

The most interesting part of the report was that it did not say whether the information came from Snowden. Reporter Dooctoro quoted another who had seen Snowden secret experts pointed out that the contents of the report have not seen in the batch of documents speculated that there may be other NSA staff inspired by Snowden leaked.

Germany recently also arrested an employee of the Federal Intelligence Service suspected of providing intelligence to the United States. On the 5th, the country's foreign ministry "invited" Ambassador Emerson of the United States to Berlin to go to the Foreign Ministry, asking each other to explain this.
