I'm missing the point that the FinFisher, FinSpy, "Hallo Steffi" toolbox is a German product. The software is written in Germany, and Gamma International is just an UK sales proxy. The usage of this toolbox by state agencies within Germany is illegal, but Germany exports this illegal toolbox to friendly regimes, and uses it to spy on hostile regimes. Thats similar to: We don't own our own bomb, we just borrow bombs from US, and export centrifuges to Korea and Iran. It should be also noted that FinSpy got a valid Apple certificate, while Apple on the other hand side is known to block software like Drones+. Its therefore just an other example that locking down a platform by certificates is not to protect users, but to protect a monopoly. And a reminder to stop UEFI. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4337218 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4337218
