Well, I am in the software industry, but not the security industry. And I don't recall anyone mentioning to this to me. Or on HN.

Can you point to some HN threads that discussed this in detail before Snowden? For example, when China was hacking Google, some people may off-handedly said, "well we do it too", but nobody gave specifics as Snowden did. His revelations were extremely useful.

Ditto. During all the "China is hacking us" stories, I never once recall any piece of news that talked about what we were doing to the rest of the World. As someone who is also in software, if such a story had been published, I would have been among those in the United States most likely to have read such a story.

If you have articles with publish dates pre-Snowden with lots of examples like the revelations in the posted story, please share. I want to figure out how I missed this.
