[IMG]http://www.techworm.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/Untitled1-700x336.png[/IMG] [I]A astounding new leak made by the Wikileaks has stunned the world tech and internet user community across the globe. As per the latest revelations by Wikileaks, almost all countries used a spying software manufactured by a German firm to spy on their unsuspecting citizens (mostly journalists, activists, political dissidents and those considered as pariahs). The leaks operation is being called Spy Files 4 by Wikileaks and it seems that most countries are guilty of violation of personal freedom of its citizens whosoever it may be, by using this software.[/I] [B][I][URL="http://www.techworm.net/2014/09/16-countries-used-finspy.html"]Techworm further reported[/URL][/I][/B] The Software which known as FinSpy and its different versions are manufactured by a German firm Gamma International. Gamma International is a renowned company which develops powerful software for companies to monitor computers use. According the first reports about this huge leak published by Reporters Without Borders (RWB), “Gamma has offices and subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, including the Channel Islands, and Germany, but also in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.” Resources: [URL="http://www.techworm.net/2014/09/16-countries-used-finspy.html"]Tw[/URL]
UN is a body of career diplomats at the end of their career They dont give a cent about world problems
Countries that used this software included Slovakia, Mongolia, Qatar State Security, South Africa, Bahrain, Pakistan, Estonia, Vietnam, Australia NSW Police, Belgium, Nigeria, Netherlands KLPD, PCS Security in Singapore, Bangladesh, Secret Services of Hungary, Italy and Bosnia & Herzegovina Intelligence. There seems to be at least 80 more nations using this tech to spy on their citizens.
I was reading, thinking "oh besides Australia it's all those broke ass countries like Pakistan and Nigeria" Then I found the Netherlands as an honorary mention. God damn it, fucking cunts.
Reading through the bug reports for this software is really funny. [QUOTE]When I open in Live view the File access module, I leave it open and then I open the forensic module, the agent looses connection with target. So at this stage Im in the situation again like Ticket Nr 96DCBD43. Also the same solution can be used. What worries me really here is that I have opened task manager and firefox on the target and these 2 began switching between each other and Task manager came partially into the firefox window -see attachment. This only happens apparently when task manager is opened. If I open wordpad and firefox for example and I reproduce the bug then the latter doesnt happen. Also, sometimes a window looses its titlebar -see attachment.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]we came to the conclusion that screenshots taken from the target are not individually timestamped. This will be a problem for the acceptance, because if not each screenshot is timetamped, the evidence - the screenshots in this case - cant be used in court, because it wont get accepted.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]We may only intercept data when we have a warrant from the judge. sometimes a waarant is valid from one date to another. The last valid day, we normally should get a new warrant. But sometimes this comes 1 week later. So what we would like to do is putting the rootkit asleep at the last day of the warrant, and waken the rootkit again on the first day of the new warrant. This functionality has been asked during the meeting on the 14th of january 2014. Thanks very much! [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]2 Laptops delivered with the agent licenses stop working. It concerns the Lenovo E520. Without any reason, they stop working. Apparently this is a common known problem since a lot of customers of Lenovo are having the same issues as we could see on the Internet. Kindly request to replace the 4 laptops by other models or to have another workaround. Thanks[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Good afternoon support, We have a problem with our agent client, when we try to login we get popup: Your license is expired. The software updates for this product are disabled. Please contact the Administrator or use the Import License button to install the license extension. We didnt get any license for import, what to do? Thanks, [/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Hello support, We have problem when we try to login with system administrator account finspy on agent, password is not working, can you tell us how can we reset password for system administrator so we can import new license. Thanks in advance,[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Generating infection through ISO FILE does not work. Error message: Creating infection failed ... code 1.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]No tracking data received from target during live session. All target history data shows only base station with no coordinates. the target iPhone has gps enabled and can show position on google maps. iPhone 5 v6.1.2[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Infected application is passed to Blackberry on sync but fails to start and heartbeat to the master. Tested BB Bold 9780 and Torch 9860 running V7.x Both BB will infect and remove when software is run manually.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]Failed to capture outgoing or incoming email on iPad1 - 5.1.1 and iPhone 5 6.1.2. Mail client Gmail, no data received[/QUOTE]
[quote]European nations like Italy [...] are also prominent buyers of this malware. Together they spent € 500,000 to spy on their private citizens who were mostly journalists, political opponents and dissidents.[/quote] And this is why I think that, no matter what, keeping yourself low profile is for the best.

[QUOTE=Coment;45987604]...I like cookies with raisins.[/QUOTE] Oatmeal cookies I assume?
