  1. "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."

  5. "The world’s most amoral, psychotic, and dumb people might actually destroy humanity.

    Unfortunately, they’re also the wealthiest and most influential individuals, part of the global Epstein Class featuring billionaires, philanthropists, world leaders, entrepreneurs, and Silicon Valley titans."

  11. in the last 9 years, TWO massive scandals hit the so-called *cybersecurity* establishment (or cartel ?) in Italy:
    1) the #HackingTeam scandal (2015)
    2) and now the cybercriminals violating State databases for alleged political blackmail

  13. Per la seconda volta in meno di dieci anni, gli apparati della cosiddetta #cybersicurezza sono travolti da un massiccio scandalo. Prima l'azienda considerata il vanto del cyber tricolore, #HackingTeam, ora un intreccio di loschi figuri, aziende private, ex delle forze dell'ordine

  15. Some of the findings of that study:

    Surveillance was introduced by colonisers, retained by liberators, &
    automated by today’s leaders

    surveillance has made panoptic realtime mass surveillance possible

    Companies providing the most surveillance technology to Africa include:
    #Huawei #ZTE#BIOkey #Agilis #HackingTeam
    #Thales #BAESystems
    #Gamma (#FinFisher) #Dermalog #NSO Group (#Pegasus
    & #Circles) #Cyberbit #Elbit

    #Arms-exporting countries = the main surveillance-exporting countries.

  22. "In June 2022, some Internet Service Providers (ISPs) helped Italian spyware vendor RCS Labs to infect the devices of Android and iOS users in Italy and Kazakhstan with commercial surveillance tools, according to Google."

    Hold up. Is #RCSLabs a derivative of the #HackingTeam legacy? HT was out of Italy, and so is RCS labs. The thing is, the HackingTeam flagship product was "RCS" -- "Remote Control System".

    Seems suspiciously similar? HackingTeam RCS has an injection proxy that offers the exact feature that is described here.

  25. The trainings are supposed to enable these states to counter cyber-attacks. However, #Egypt and #Morocco have been enabled to carry out such attacks in the first place as #Italy #France and #Israel sold #NSO #HackingTeam and #Amesys software to both regimes 2/2

  26. 3. Da molti anni,ormai,gli apparati dello Stato italiano conducono una crociata contro le ONG: ricordate quando diffondevano sospetti su ONG che denunciavano #HackingTeam perché vendeva alle peggiori dittature del pianeta tecnologia per spiare i dissidenti? Era tutto vero

  28. Obwohl Unternehmen wie die NSO Group seit Jahren von Skandalen heimgesucht werden, scheint diese Branche mittlerweile "too big to fail".​

  29. Espionaje de periodistas mexicanos: una investigación sobre el rentable negocio del ciberespionaje

    Un análisis técnico del Security Lab de Amnistía Internacional muestra que Jorge Carrasco, el director del semanario mexicano Proceso, fue víctima en 2016 de un intento de infección por el spyware Pegasus, desarrollado por la empresa israelíe NSO Group, mientras trabajaba en la investigación global Panama Papers. Es el décimo caso probado de periodista que fue blanco de esta tecnología en México.

    Ex empleados de la empresa italiana Hacking Team narran por primera vez cómo agencias mexicanas abusaron de su tecnología de ciberespionaje, incluso contra periodistas.
