Da Vinci: Italian Hacking tool for government authorities.
Two rather rare specific features have struck with the recently Trojan appeared for the first time "Crisis" the virus researchers of Symantec: Before the pest neither virtual machines nor mobile phones are sure.
If a system is infected for the moment with "Crisi", the Trojan not only by means of Keylogger can intercept all keyboard inputs, but also activate the Webcam and be of use as well as monitor Skype telephone calls. A Backdoor for reloading of other program modules belongs of course also to the functional extent. In principle, "Crisis" offers full-extensive spy possibilities for all infected calculators to his operator therefore.
However, incredibly the Trojan becomes only by his possibility to infect VMWare images. Thus he can be further on his duty even if the user begins a virtual machine. Besides, "Crisis" infects all, recordable data carriers used in the PC automatically by first-time use. Mobile phones with Windows mobile also belong to it as an operating system. The more modern variation Windows Phone as well as iOS and Android, however, are sure before him.
On grounds of his mighty features and because "Crisis" up to now yet in the wild was not sighted, experts assume from the fact that the Trojan was programmed for some, special areas of application as for example state spying. Supposedly the Trojan is a part of the spy suite "da Vinci" which has developed an Italian company especially for the application by government authorities.
