nobbis writes "In an article entitled 'How Covert Agents Infiltrate the Internet to Manipulate, Deceive, and Destroy Reputations' Glenn Greenwald publishes training material from the Snowden archive that illustrates how GCHQ uses "cyber-offensive techniques against people who have nothing to do with terrorism or national security threats", for example against "Hacktivism".
These techniques include disseminating deception on-line and harming the reputations of their targets with a honey trap , a blog from a purported victim of the target, or 'changing their photos on social media sites'. Similarly companies are discredited by leaking of confidential information, or posting negative information on appropriate forums. The covert agents' play book includes infiltration, false flag, disruption and sting operations.
When questioned GCHQ replied "It is a longstanding policy that we do not comment on intelligence matters""

"Did someone say my name?"
No, no one ever says your name.
In fact, when the NSA told me that no one ever says your name, they were very careful not to say your name.
GCHQ, on the other hand, merely refer to you by their code name for you, Voldemort.
I see where certain people on "the other site" have a few alternate names for you as well, although many of them, when they post them, can't seem to remember their own.
