SWIFT.net penetration

Few days ago a Russian hackers group made public the info that US authorities had secret access to SWIFT.net network via until now secret kept backdoors in software.
Now, that this information is no longer a secret,
I can disclose that as early as 2010 April,  US authorities had direct hidden access in the French bankgroup BNP Paribas in Europe.
By using a special syntax and backdoor in Google servers and Google Bot, someone could access bank internal SWIFT.net data traffic intercepted and retransmitted to US located servers.
Similar backdoor was available in 2011-2012 for intercepting of data traffic from servers belonging Romanian Government and Finance Department regarding state contracts and aquisitions.
