The leaks of classified information related to the NSA's surveillance programs had an impact not only on the life of Edward Snowden, but also on that of the journalists who helped publish them.
When Glenn Greenwald 's associate was arrested in London, another story of spy madness followed. It appears that the hard drives at the Guardian's London offices were completely destroyed by GCHQ, the British counterpart to the NSA.
According to an article published by the newspaper, intelligence officers from the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) demanded by warrant that all classified documents in the journalists' possession be handed over and asked to destroy the hard drives.
A little later, the destruction of many computers began in the building's basement under the watchful eye of several government officials.
However, despite their efforts, The Guardian promises to continue publishing articles from the documents provided by Edward Snowden since they were not stored only in London.
Journalist Glenn Greenwaldsaid he will continue to publish this information for a long time, especially now that authorities have targeted him and his colleague.
Greenwald has reached the point of threatening the United Kingdom, stating that he will regret what he has done and that now he will focus on the information that links his country to the NSA's espionage activities.
Edward Snowden reportedly gave Greenwald around 20,000 documents from NSA servers.
