The Government Communications Security Bureau (GCSB) spied on Kim Dotcom, then claimed that they had stopped in 2016. When their espionage malware was detected in 2017, they stated that they "had no idea" it was still spying on him.[1]
Activities
"The Inspector General of Intelligence and Security, Cheryl Gwyn, probes a series of allegations, including that the agency wrongly spied on Kiwis in the Pacific, and used its eavesdropping powers to snoop on rival candidates for the job of World Trade Organisation boss when our Government was backing former trade minister Tim Groser for the job."[2]
