The intelligence angle in Google's new Grace Hopper transatlantic cable
Google will lay a new undersea communications cable between the United States and Britain and Spain. The cable will support increased data flows across the Atlantic. But "Grace Hopper," as the cable is named, will also attract some interesting intelligence activity.
The first point to note is that the British end of the cable will come ashore in Bude, Cornwall, on England's southwest coast. While many U.S. cables land at Bude, that location is also home to a joint base of the U.S. National Security Agency and its British equivalent, Government Communications Headquarters. GCHQ-Bude conducts a range of signals intelligence activities, but its particular focuses are the monitoring of undersea cable traffic, supporting NATO sea control, and interception of data and communications running across numerous satellites. But its position on the picturesque coast gives GCHQ-Bude a particular opportunity to assess data moving across undersea networks quickly.

🇵🇸 U.S. spies have ‘wide range’ of facilities on UK’s Cyprus base near Gaza—and share material ‘daily’ with Israel | Declassified UK
US spies have widespread access to Britain’s bases on Cyprus and share information ‘daily’ with their Israeli counterparts, leaked top secret documents show.
The British so-called Sovereign Base Areas (#SBA) on Cyprus, which comprise 3% of the island’s landmass, sit just 200 miles from #Gaza. The bases are said to be the largest British #intelligence facilities outside of the #UK, although they have never been officially acknowledged.
“Cyprus hosts a wide range of UK and US intelligence facilities”, notes a top secret document from #GCHQ, Britain’s largest spy agency. The document adds: “#Cyprus collection facilities are acknowledged by #NSA as important assets”.
The main US spy agency working on the British territory in Cyprus is the National Security Agency (NSA).
