Yahoo denies building spying software to scan all of its customers’ incoming emails for U.S. intelligence agencies, a claim reported by Reuters Tuesday. Citing people familiar with the matter, Reuters reported that Yahoo complied with a classified government directive to scan YahooMail accounts at the request of the National Security Agency or FBI. The software, which was built last year, spied on incoming emails of hundreds of millions of accounts, it said. The National Security Agency and the FBI have not yet responded to a request for comment on this story from FoxNews.com. This report comes on the heels of Yahoo’s announcement that "state-sponsored" hackers had gained access to 500 million customer accounts in 2014.
