Deutsche Telekom says it has found no indication that the NSA or GCHQ had obtained access to its computer network, contrary to news reports over the weekend.

The German telco has checked its systems after reports in news outlet Der Spiegel said on Sunday which stated both the US National Security Agency (NSA) and the British intelligence agency GCHQ had concealed online pathways into both Deutsche Telekom (DT) and local provider NetCologne.

According to Reuters, DT has found no sign of intelligence access. "We are looking into every indication of possible manipulations but have not yet found any hint of that in our investigations so far," a Telekom spokesman said in a statement. "We're working closely with IT specialists and have also contacted German security authorities.”

Der Spiegel reported that new documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden said both NSA and GCHQ had access to DT and other telecoms companies through a joint program called 'Treasure Map'.

The specter of intelligence access to German data centers led Microsoft's German CEO to propose a German-only data center service hosted by third parties.
