- MartinMond 15y agoHm... does that mean that Apple's software updates aren't signed or that Apple gave the key to that company?
- cypherpunks01 15y agoJust one more reason to not use iTunes! It appears that Apple Software Updates are indeed signed: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5044 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5044 Are there any journalists planning a story about this who can contact Apple for a possible statement? I tweeted the author @a_greenberg to do so.

- iuguy 15y agoFinfisher is an interesting product. Much of what it offers has been available in open source projects[1][2] for quite a while. I imagine it's probably the management overhead and GUI based interface that they sell it on. Evilgrade (link below) is particularly interesting and handles the fake update part of the infection. Typically you'd use something like a metasploit (or equivalent) payload to install.

- bh42222 15y agoAfter the downfall of Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak, the BBC obtained evidence that Gamma had offered its technology to the country’s regime for surveilling Egyptians’ use of tools like Hotmail, Yahoo! mail, Gmail and Skype. Note to self: Do not ever work for Gamma. Remember "Gamma" if you meet someone who worked for them.
- ukgent2 15y agoI work with gamma as a UK telephone operator. The divsion of gamma that was involed with this was gamma international. Where as Gamma for UK is a pretty much a seperate company. One of those things where the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. looking at their website, they dont seem linked in anyway :/ https://www.gammagroup.com/Default.aspx https://www.gammagroup.com/Default.aspx maybe they are not part of each other but just share a name.
- vinhboy 15y agoHas anyone seen a exploit that allows an attacker to view your camera, without turning on the green indicator light? This is the kind of stuff my nightmares are made of.
