A secret document of former NSA contractor Edward Snowden shows that the AIVD use a technology called Computer Network Exploitation, CNE, to hack the web forums and collect the data.
Last week NRC reported that the NSA has infected 50,000 computer networks worldwide with malicious software. According to Dutch law, the intelligence service is permitted to hack computers of people or organizations under suspicion. But the law is not prescriptive regarding sophisticated forms of computer espionage.
These techniques allow the intelligence services to harvest, analyze and utilize computer data of a large group of people using web forums.
