The Mexican government has condemned newly reported spying activities of the U.S. National Security Agency against the country's former president while he was in office.
A special division of the U.S. National Security Agency called "Tailored Access Operations" (TAO) hacked into an email server used by the Mexican presidency in 2010 and accessed the email account of Felipe Calderon, Mexico's president at the time, German news magazine Der Spiegel reported Sunday.
The information comes from a May 2010 NSA report classified as "top secret" that was leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden.
"TAO successfully exploited a key mail server in the Mexican Presidencia domain within the Mexican Presidential network to gain first-ever access to President Felipe Calderon's public email account," the report said, according to Der Spiegel.
