Just the tip of the iceberg in fact.

- https://surveillance.rsf.org/en/

" On 12 March 2013, Reporters Without Borders published a Special report on Internet Surveillance... a list of "Corporate Enemies of the Internet", companies that sell products that are liable to be used by governments to violate human rights and freedom of information. "

" The five "Corporate Enemies of the Internet" named in March 2013 are: Amesys (France), Blue Coat Systems (U.S.), Gamma (UK and Germany), Hacking Team (Italy), and Trovicor (Germany). "

Exactly. The majority don't even realize that their privacy is under risk even by using Facebook, Google and whatnot. I doubt that a lot of people know about these groups.
This just shows how corrupt our governments are. They're essentially punishing and sending people to prison for pirating movies, music, etc. However, when they buy hacking tools and use them, it is supposed to be fine?  Roll Eyes

Interesting story. You would think hackers would be very paranoid about their security, considering what they do.
They probably are. This is just a example that confirms the "nothing is unbreakable/unhackable" assumption.

( http://blog.trendmicro.com/trendlabs-security-intelligence/hacking-team-uses-uefi-bios-rootkit-to-keep-rcs-9-agent-in-target-systems/ )

Since HT clients were able to use an UEFI bios rootkit, all victims, that are aware of beeing infected by RCS, should flash their BIOS with an original version, instead of simply reinstalling the OS.

Flashing your BIOS once in a while is a good security measure anyway, as long as you know what to do Wink

It’s clear after reviewing other e-mails in the Hacking team archive that the firm wasn’t just buying from Toropov but from numerous others as well, including a “Dustin Trammell” of vulnbroker.com. Eric Rabe, Hacking Team’s spokesman, did not immediately respond to Ars’ questions about the company’s history and expenditures on zero-days.

Interesting.....
That Dustin Trammel guy is a member of these forums.
