Britain’s electronic spy agency gathered e-mails of reporters from top U.S. and British media organizations in November 2008 in an apparent effort to test a new data-mining tool, the Guardian has reported.
The communications were among 70,000 e-mails siphoned up in less than 10 minutes and included communications from journalists at The Washington Post, the New York Times, the Guardian, the BBC, Reuters, Le Monde and NBC, the newspaper reported, citing analysis of documents released by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
