Operation Rubicon
After watching this fascinating video about Operation Rubicon (also known as Operation Thesaurus), I was saddened to discover that Denmark apparently also were among the customers of Hagelin Crypto.
To be fair, I am not sure Denmark used these exact models. Still, it is unsettling to learn that cryptographic devices trusted by governments around the world may have been secretly compromised by the CIA and German intelligence agencies for decades.
The story behind Operation Rubicon is both fascinating and deeply sobering. It serves as a reminder that in intelligence, cybersecurity, and geopolitics, trust is often the most valuable — and vulnerable — component of all.
Which ultimately leaves us with the timeless question: who can you really trust?
