"U.S. Consulate in Frankfurt is a covert CIA hacker base " Germans are usually privacy nuts. I know many who maintain no presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. I wonder how Germany will react to this.

Not long ago it was hinted that US ambassy in Paris is a nice CIA antenna too. Nobody denied nobody answered, question still up in the air. Also, latest Russian project, a large church-like building in Paris is suspected to hide intel dept.

Sorry, news flash, virtually all of the countries' embassies and consulates are a natural place where a lot of intelligence operations are conducted. Counterintelligence operations watch them very closely. The fact that Frankfurt is a hub among their European intelligence operations is not terribly interesting IMO. > I wonder how Germany will react to this. Germany always knew operations were conducted there but now must react to this overt news.

It was pretty much an open secret already.
