"The Swiss Federal Intelligence Service (SRC) is allegedly monitoring the digital activities of the Swiss population, particularly on their mobile phones and computers, according to the German-language magazine Republik.ch on Tuesday."
""Since the Intelligence Act came into force in 2017, the internet traffic of Swiss citizens has been analysed on a massive scale. What's more, all the data is recorded with a view to possible retroactive searches", it writes.
The government is also allegedly flouting the protection of journalists' sources and lawyers' professional secrecy."
"Other concerns have also been expressed about the hacking of this data. Steven Meyer, director of ZENData and cybersecurity expert, explains his fears: "Given that other national institutions have already been victims of data hacking, how can we be sure that they will be properly protected so that another government or criminals cannot access them?""
