The National Security Agency hacked into the email of former Mexican President Felipe Calderón, according to a report in the German newspaper Der Spiegel.

The probe occurred amid years of U.S. eavesdropping on the Mexican government.

The spy agency reportedly wrote a top-secret report in May 2010, explaining that officials "successfully exploited a key mail server in the Mexican Presidencia domain within the Mexican Presidential network to gain first-ever access to President Felipe Calderon's public email account."
