Every internet user might be aware of National Security Agency (NSA). The agency which is responsible for spying the globe by downloading million GB information daily with their specially designed spying software had inadequacy in securing their own systems with highly confidential data.
Edward Snowden has nearly more than 1.7 Million secret files of NSA which he compromised using a simple web crawler tool which can be freely downloaded from net.
Everyone was heedless that how can he gained access to National Security Agency's servers and crawled the files from them. The intelligence branch officials of NSA stated that "Edward used Web Crawler tool against NSA's internal network and might had used Passwords of his mates to download the information from server"
This incidence is very shocking as the agency whose job is to protect the nation against various cyber attacks, unable to detect the inside worker of it.
Snowden stated that "he only did this to inform the general public about the government's actions"
