SnowdenLeaks: US intelligence spying on Venezuelan oil officials
The revelations, released by teleSUR and The Intercept, show that U.S. Intelligence agents worked with operatives in the Embassy to spy on Venezuelan oil company heads.
U.S. intelligence agents posing as diplomats in Caracas helped an NSA analyst try to crack open PDVSA’s computer network.
When the U.S. government decided to try hacking into Petroleos de Venezuela, the oil company was engaged in a drawn out legal battle with ExxonMobil, the U.S. oil giant whose investments in Venezuela were nationalized by the government of President Hugo Chavez in 2007.

Efforts to subvert the Venezuelan government have not ceased since President Hugo Chavez passed away in 2013. In fact, since then the U.S. has only stepped up its efforts to aid the right-wing opposition, even going so far as to declare the government of Nicolas Maduro a threat to U.S. national security.
