French telco Orange is to take legal action following allegations that the US National Security Agency intercepted data on a submarine cable it uses to transport data from France to Africa and Asia.
Orange’s planned lawsuit comes in response to details of efforts by the NSA to tap the SeaMeWe 4 (SMW-4) submarine cable, which carries internet traffic between Marseille in France, Sicily, North Africa, the Gulf states, Pakistan, India, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
