FinFisher How To: The Hacking Team
April 27, 2016
The idea is that math and science club types are competitive. Sure, many did not grasp fencing foils or head to the table tennis club. But the old competitive spark is there. To get a sense of how one outfit (FinFisher) hacked into another outfit (Hacking Team) point your browser at “Hack Back.” I want to raise several questions:
- Do these companies compete for law enforcement and intelligence contracts?
- Why did the “60 Minutes” report about hacking which aired on April 17, 2016, not mention FinFisher? Did “60 Minutes” “real” journalists overlook this company?
- Can either of these companies retrieve data from mobile phones?
- Who owns Gamma Group?
Ah, gentle reader, many questions.
