THE MI6 spy found dead in a holdall had illegally hacked into secret data on Bill Clinton, The Sun on Sunday can reveal.
Gareth Williams, 31, dug out the guestlist for an event the former American president was going to as a favour for a pal.
The codebreaker — who had breached his security clearance — handed the list to the friend, who was also to be a guest.
MI6 bosses raged over the data breach amid growing tensions with US security services over Mr Williams’s transatlantic work.
Today, just over five years since his body was found inside a padlocked bag, his death remains one of Britain’s most mysterious unsolved cases.
The Sun on Sunday can reveal that voicemail messages Mr Williams left for family and pals were deleted in the days after his death. And a rival agent may also have broken into the flat to destroy or remove evidence.
The inquest was barred from discussing Mr Williams’s work in public. But sources say he was helping on the joint monitoring network Echelon, which uses sophisticated programs to eavesdrop on terrorists and criminal gangs, particularly those in Russia.
Detectives are still baffled as to how the maths genius and expert cryptographer died.

Interesting story. Sounds like he was "offed" because he may have become disgruntled and was going to run his mouth.
Other than the guest list being taken for the event tied to Bill, I fail to see why this is relevant to the current Clinton issues.
Projection, perhaps?
Wishful thinking?

Wow,
every one knew when this story hit that something wasn't right, and that fowl play was at work,
but it being the "secret service" the truth would never come out,
so i have a question....... why?
The government has the ability to suppress information, and stories like this getting out into the public domain, the only reason this is out is because "they" want it out, but to what gain?
interesting times, but i personally feel that this is a chess game and someone just made a significant move
The codebreaker — who had breached his security clearance — handed the list to the friend, who was also to be a guest.

I suppose the million dollar question...besides, what ELSE this guy found in Bill Clinton's secret data?...is:
From WHAT server was that data hacked?
Clearly he knew too much, but that doesn't mean he didn't deserve it...
