Quote:
A coalition of ISPs and communication providers from around the world filed a legal complaint against the U.K. Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), calling for an end to its alleged attacking and exploitation of network infrastructure to gain access to potentially millions of people's private communications. The complaint was lodged on Wednesday with the U.K.'s Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), a court that can investigate complaints about any alleged conduct by, or on behalf of, the British intelligence services.

Quote:
In their lawsuit, the communications providers claim that by allegedly interfering with network assets and computers belonging to the network providers, GCHQ has contravened the U.K. Computer Misuse Act and the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), which guarantees the individual's peaceful enjoyment of their possessions, they said.
