(ECNS) – The US National Security Agency (NSA) can turn an iPhone into a spying tool and obtain digital information from computers via radar devices, according to German media, citing well-known privacy advocate Jacob Appelbaum.

Appelbaum said at a hacker conference in Germany on Monday that the NSA's capabilities "are even worse than your worst nightmares."

He revealed surveillance tools the NSA used through what appeared to be the agency's internal slides. One slide shows the NSA can insert malware into iPhones, turning them into spying devices. And another one displayed a portable continuous wave generator, which can bounce energy waves off keyboards and monitor what is being typed even if the target device is offline.

What Appelbaum presented in his speech was published by German magazine Der Spiegel, which had played an important role, with Appelbaum, in the disclosures of NSA leaker Edward Snowden. However, neither has clarified whether the slides came from Snowden.

Vanee Vines, from the NSA, said she hadn't heard Appelbaum's speech and the agency wouldn't comment on it.
