DataHeroz Coins #001 – Edward Snowden

Edward Snowden is the first portrait of the DataHeroz – WHISTLEBLOWERS – COIN EDITION collection. Edward Joseph Snowden (born June 21, 1983) is a former computer intelligence consultant who copied and leaked highly classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 when he was a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee and subcontractor. His disclosures revealed numerous global surveillance programs, many run by the NSA and the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance with the cooperation of telecommunication companies and European governments, and prompted a cultural discussion about national security and individual privacy.
