9% thats a lot of folk. :eek:

Intruiging all the same that we're lumped in with what look like common US inteligence targets.

and the Countries spied on it looks more like a UK operation then US, you'd imagine the US would have cast a much wider net.

Would our inclusion at 9% be because of the amount of IT company's headquartered and located here. I wonder??

I've been doing a bit of reading about this virus. It's an open secret that the British and the US were the creators, if not heavily involved in the development, of this virus. Only one company in Ireland was infected by the virus, but nobody seems to know the name.
