#finfisher — Public Fediverse posts

"Over the last few decades, several mysterious hackers have captured the public’s imagination, but none quite like Phineas Fisher. A decade after their most famous hack, Phineas remains, by most accounts, the most prolific and public hacker never to have been caught.

As part of our series on the biggest cybersecurity mysteries of all time, we’re delving into the enigma of Phineas, the hacktivist who hacked controversial spyware makers FinFisher and Hacking Team. The latter, an Italian startup, was among the first to turn government spyware into a viable global business, paving the way for spyware makers such as the Israeli NSO Group. Phineas’ hack against Hacking Team eventually led to the startup’s demise years later.

Apart from Anonymous, an amorphous amalgam of hacktivists with a mixed track record of mostly stunt hacks designed to gather publicity rather than have real impact, Phineas is perhaps the most well-known hacktivist in history. Their story is made of impressive hacks and endless unanswered questions."

I wonder when more people in the #press will call out Mark's #segregationstrategy in the largest #malware software pusher on #SocialMedia & how 5/6th of the world isn't on #Meta 👀👀

Perhaps they could ask about the use of #GammaGroup's #FinFisher #FinSpy #Finsky software used for targeting users at around a 250k run rate since 2015 & how that's a key user acquisition strategy software component wise but is never mentioned for some reason in the #press as a key component of ' non-organic growth ' but basic racketeering ( #RICO ) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
