Video game developer Rovio confirmed on Wednesday that hackers

had defaced its Angry Birds site with an image that read "Spying

Birds" and which sported an NSA logo.

The attack is reportedly a fall out of the publication of certain

leaks that indicated that the US spy agency and its British

counterpart GCHQ had used and obtained data released by one of

the Finnish firm's games.

Rovio, however, said it had not "collaborated or colluded" with any

government spy agency.

Rovio said it had quickly fixed its site.

"The defacement was caught in minutes and corrected

immediately," marketing manager Saara Bergstrom was quoted as

saying.

"The end user data was in no risk at any point. Due to how the

internet name resolution works, for most areas it was not visible at

all, but some areas take time for the correct information to be

updated," she said.

On Twitter, the Syrian Electronic Army tweeted, "A friend hacked

and defaced @Angrybirds website after reports confirms its spying

on people. The attack was by "Anti-NSA" Hacker, He sent an email

to our official email with the link of the hacked website."

In various reports on Monday, the New York Times, ProPublica and

the Guardian had posted copies of documents obtained from

whistle-blower Edward Snowden that suggested that the NSA and

the GCHQ had worked together since 2007 to develop ways to gain

access to information from phone and tablet applications.

The reports said that the information could include details of the

owner's age, sex, location and even if they were currently listening

to music or making a call. It added that the range of information

depended in part on which online advertising network Rovio sent

the details to.

Following the news, Rovio posted a blog saying it would now

reconsider how it shared data with its partners.
