- The CIA secretly bought a Swiss company that sold encrypted devices and rigged them to spy on clients, according to confidential documents published by The Washington Post and ZDF Tuesday.
- The company, Crypto AG, sold gadgets and software to spies, diplomats, military officials, and private companies for decades.
- CIA agents secretly listened in on all communications that used the company's devices, and the CIA's leaked report called it "the intelligence coup of the century."
- Crypto AG was dissolved in 2018, and the two companies that bought its assets deny any involvement with the CIA.
