Has Hacking Team's government trojan been used against journalists? | Privacy International:
According to Hacking Team, the Da Vinci software logs Skype calls, emails, instant messaging, web browsing records, deleted files and shots taken from the computer’s own webcam. In effect, the company claims that their product not only relays what's happening on a target’s computer, but also enables surveillance of anything that occurs within the range of the computer’s internal camera or microphone.
Hacking Team’s Remote Control System was detected 'in the wild' last week - shortly after Gamma International's FinSpy (a similar tool) was identified in email attachments sent to Bahraini activists.
