�� �� France suspects the US of espionage

The French authorities are worried that US specialists sent to the EU to combat cyber attacks will actually spy in favor of the States, writes Le Monde.

"The work on technical support by American cyberwar teams, which is increasingly being carried out in European countries, especially after the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, in order to track down possible Russian interference, is worrying," the newspaper wrote with reference to the head of the command of the cyber defense forces of the French Armed Forces, Emerick de Bonmaison.

"From the point of view of cybersecurity, the very fact that a state provides access to its confidential data to another state, albeit a friendly one, opens up the possibility for intelligence gathering, and therefore for espionage," writes Le Monde.
