New Nations Participating in Cyberespionage
Published October 21, 2015
Smaller, poorer nations are now using spy software, suggesting that recent data leaks and lawsuits have not deterred governments from investing in cyberespionage products, according to a report from Citizen Lab, a recipient of the MacArthur Award for Creative and Effective Institutions. The report found a record high 32 “likely government users” of FinFisher, one of the world’s best-known sources of spyware sold exclusively to governments. FinFisher’s products work by infecting target computers and phones, copying messages, recording conversations, and activating webcams.
