A Belgian Member of parliament, claims that an e-mail that they sent a bill for cybersecurity is opened by the U.s. army. That would appear to be from the extended header of the e-mail, which she sent via the webmaildienst Mail.com.

The mail would be opened on the U.s. base Fort Huachua in the state of Arizona, including Netcom, a division of the American army which deals with information online. That would appear to be from the extended header of the mail, claims to be the Member of parliament of the political party N-VA compared to the newspaper het belang Van Limburg.

The mail would be sent via Mail.com, a Us provider of web-based email. In the subject line of the email cybersecurity is mentioned; hence there also exists the possibility Netcom on keywords searched for and not systematically the Member of parliament kept an eye on. The claim comes at a moment in European politics, much attention is paid to interception activities of the Us government by the revelations of whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The Member of parliament, Karolien Grosemans, is angry that her e-mail by the American army, was opened. “This proves that not only Merkel and other government leaders are spied upon, but that we as parliamentarians are also not safe.”

Update 22:03: The message seems to be based on a misunderstanding. The expert that the Member of parliament consulted seems to be the version of the web interface Mail.com as for an ip address, says tweaker RM-rf, just as a software engineer Koen Rouwhorst.
