Mystery Again Surrounds Bundestag's NSA Committee of Inquiry (Die Welt, Germany)

"The Bundestag Committee investigating the NSA spying scandal may itself have been spied on. According to information obtained by Die Welt, there are suspicions that the so-called encrypted phone of Committee Chairman Patrick Sensburg may have been hacked. An ominous course of events forms the backdrop of these suspicions. A detailed analysis will take several weeks. Therefore, any involvement by an intelligence service can only be a matter of conjecture."

Germany - Die Welt - Original Article (German)

The encrypted mobile phone of NSA Committee of Inquiry Chairman Patrick Sensburg may have been hacked. The defective device was sent from the Bundestag to Bonn for analysis. The container arrived - unsealed.

The Bundestag Committee investigating the NSA spying scandal may itself have been spied on. According to information obtained by Die Welt, there are suspicions that the so-called encrypted phone of Committee Chairman Patrick Sensburg may have been hacked. The device is therefore to be examined by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) in Bonn. The CDU politician is for the moment unwilling to comment.

An ominous course of events forms the backdrop of these suspicions. In February, the Committee Chairman Sensburg is said to have noticed a malfunction in his Blackberry Z30. The Bundestag's administrative division then sent the device to Bonn in a sealed container for analysis by the BSI through the shipping firm DHL [a German firm]. It was the first time transport was arranged this way.

In response to inquiries by Die Welt, the Bundestag confirmed the facts surrounding the situation. The lead-lined shipping container was opened upon arrival at its destination. According to Die Welt's sources, the device had obviously been taken out of the container before being delivered. The Bundestag's administrative division says that a complaint that the package had been broken into has been filed against persons unknown.

The BSI is now trying to ascertain if the device had been accessed. A detailed analysis will take several weeks. What's behind all this remains completely unknown. Therefore, any involvement by an intelligence service can only be a matter of conjecture. Neither the federal government nor the BSI wished to comment.

Sensburg regularly works with highly classified documents

Patrick Sensburg is quite an interesting target for spies as he regularly deals with highly classified documents. The investigative committee he presides over is trying - in the course of the revelations of U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden - to elucidate possible violations by intelligence services at home and abroad. This week, committee members will be hearing testimony by a former section chief of the Bundesnachrichtendienst [The Federal Intelligence Service or BND.]

The security measures surrounding the committee are high, which is why committee chairmen and section chiefs were given encrypted telephones in the first place and safes were installed in representatives offices. The Office for the Protection of the Constitution urged committee members to use their encrypted phones more frequently and exercise more discipline in their communications. Security officials had early on warned committee members that they were attractive espionage targets so should expect to be surveilled.

Concerns were raised by revelations a year and a half ago that the American intelligence services had for years tapped the cell phone of Chancellor Angela Merkel. The U.S. side never denied the accusations. Reports that the phones of committee members, Bundestag members or their staffs were monitored have yet to be confirmed.

CDU representatives suspicions not substantiated

Roderich Kiesewetter, former chairman the committee's Christian Democratic Union [CDU] caucus, had reported last summer his cell phone's "strange behavior." Subsequent analysis concluded that a third party had gained access to the phone. However, the CDU politician later issued a correction: an additional general analysis by the BSI was unable to confirm that data had been accessed.

At the time, the BSI in Bonn provided detailed information about this type of analysis. In a letter to the NSA Committee of Inquiry, BSI President Michael Hange explained that there are several levels of analysis. During a third-level analysis, for instance, the hardware would be examined. X-raying the device can reveal certain types of tampering, but this level of analysis cannot be done without destroying it.

After becoming aware of the alleged surveillance of Merkels cell phone, the federal and state governments argued for better protection against espionage. According to government sources, more than 3,000 encrypted smart phones were distributed to federal officials alone. The number is expected to rise over the next few years.

Are even encrypted phones secure?

Most government employees including Chairman Sensburg use phones by Canadian manufacturer Blackberry. The cost of one of the devices is roughly 2000 [$2200] and communications are encrypted with technology from German company Secusmart, yet just how secure encrypted mobile phones are remains unclear.

According to information provided by the Interior Ministry, the device only meets requirements for communications rated Confidential - For Internal Use Only. This is the lowest of four levels of classification.

Many owners of encrypted mobile phones dont consider them suitable for everyday use. There have been complaints about short battery life, time lapses in transmitting conversations and poor voice quality. Users have the option of choosing secure or normal mode. For an encrypted communication, both parties are required to have the same type of encrypted phone.

Withdrawal due to BND activities

The NSA Committee of Inquiry has been in the headlines several times recently. With his dealings with the BND, the Committee's former CDU Caucus Chairman Kiesewetter justified his departure.

In addition, Great Britain sent a letter of protest criticizing the fact that there were several instances in which the committee leaked internal information to the public. Shortly thereafter media reported on a secret operation of the British, and representatives expressed suspicion that they had been set up.

Committee Chairman Sensburg has had problems with the public prosecutors office. He was investigated for allegedly having beaten his girlfriend. According to Sensburg, the investigation has since been halted [since his girlfriend withdrew the charges].
