The United States' National Security Agency has reportedly used automated systems to infect computers with malware since 2010, with the agency at times pretending to be Facebook to install its spying tools.

The NSA has been using a program codenamed Turbine to contaminate computers and networks with malware "implants" capable of spying on users, according to news website The Intercept, which cited documents provided by whistle-blower Edward Snowden.
