US and UK intelligence have reportedly cracked the encryption codes protecting the emails, banking and medical records of hundreds of millions of people.
Disclosures by leaker Edward Snowden allege the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the UK's GCHQ successfully decoded key online security protocols.
They suggest some internet companies provided the agencies backdoor access to their security systems.
The NSA is said to spend $250m (£160m) a year on the top-secret operation.

They created the back door for those companies to embed it in their algorithm, I even heard that NSA contributed code for the android OS.
I am very sure with this leakage countries like Russia, China, etc will start to create their own algorithm and not want to have anything to do with any American/UK companies again.
