A journalist has revealed that low-level analysts in the National Security Agency (NSA) have easy access to a database that lets them intervene in people's private records like phone, email and Internet histories.

Fox News reports that British reporter, Glenn Greenwald, had earlier published a string of reports based on documents from leaker NSA Edward Snowden.

Greenwald has claimed that he has evidence on how low-level employees could dip into a vast system of information on peoples' communications, the report added.

Meanwhile, some top officials have denied on the claim that NSA offers that kind of access to its workers.
