Bruce Schneier: China and Russia had top secret files long before Snowden stole them

I so agree with Schneier in this.

Security expert Bruce Schneier believes the NSA and GCHQ should look in the mirror and not at Edward Snowden when looking to blame someone for countries like China and Russia having access to its top secret documents.

In the wake of a Sunday Times report on 14 June alleging that China and Russia had cracked a cache of documents handed to them by Edward Snowden, there was widespread and angry criticism of the article described as "the opposite of journalism".

Schneier, writing for Wired, calls the article "terrible" which is "filled with factual inaccuracies and unsubstantiated claims" before stating that while he doesn't believe Snowden handed over the documents he has no doubt that governments like China and Russia do have access to the documents in question.

The cryptographer, who analysed some of the cache of Snowden documents, poses two possible routes by which these documents got into the hands of foreign regimes.
