E-mail users warned over spy network

[excerpt]

Computer users across Europe should encrypt all their e-mails, to
avoid being spied on by a UK-US eavesdropping network, say Euro-MPs.

The tentacles of the Echelon network stretch so far that the UK's
involvement could constitute a breach of human rights, they say.

The Euro-MPs have been studying Echelon for almost a year, after
allegations that it has been used by the US to commit industrial
espionage against European firms.

They conclude that Echelon - whose existence is not officially
acknowledged - is reading millions of e-mails and faxes sent every day
by ordinary people.
