Gamma's FinFisher leaked - 40GB file appears online
The company that makes and sells the world's most elusive cyber weapon, FinFisher spyware, has been hacked and a 40G file has been dumped on the internet.
The slick and highly secret surveillance software can remotely control any computer it infects, copy files, intercept Skype calls, log keystrokes -- and now we know it can do much, much more.
A hacker has announced on Reddit and Twitter that they'd hacked Anglo-German company Gamma International UK Ltd., makers of FinFisher spyware sold exclusively to governments and police agencies. The file was linked both on Reddit and "@GammaGroupPR" -- a parody Twitter account by the hacker taking credit for the breach. The Twitter account is still doling out tidbits from the massive theft.
