Mobile Surveillance: Morocco?

August 2, 2022

I read “L’Union Européenne a Discrètement Fourni au Maroc de Puissants Systèmes de Piratage des Téléphones.” I try to believe everything I read on the information superhighway’s sign posts. So far, this story which appeared on July 24, 2022, in Disclose is yet to be verified by my super duper thumbtyping research team. Therefore, I cannot agree or disagree with its statements or the spin put on the story. If you don’t read French, you can try the service at this link to render the mysteries of French is the world’s most lawyer-friendly language.

The company identified as providing mobile phone forensics does business as MSAB, which is a sponsor of the European Academy of Forensic Science conference on mobile device forensics. The firm’s customers are government agencies.. The firm provides “complete solutions.” Its Web site is MSAB.com.

The “Oxygen” referenced in the article may be the entity doing business as Oxygen Forensics. The firm’s Web site is www.oxygenforensic.com. The firm’s mobile phone software is called Detective. Years ago, I did a DarkCyber video about the tool’s capabilities. I have removed my DarkCyber videos from public access because some perceived my explanations as too revealing. For example, I believe I mentioned that the core technology was developed in Russia. Now the firm’s company profile here does not mention much about the non-US facets of the firm.

The write up points out with what I might call Gallic skepticism that the use of the forensic tools is related to immigration. Yep, tools can be used for many purposes. Think about those Buzzfeed articles which explain how to use household products for surprising applications. Who knew dish washing liquid was a jack of all trades?

Worth monitoring because non-US forensic technology is, in my team’s opinion, outperforming US developed solutions in some intelware and policeware sectors. Examples? Sure, just check out the companies in Herliya focused on specialized services.
