Spyware offensive. That allows you to remotely control your smartphone and pc. And can capture email, sms and web tracks.

SOFTWARE THAT ATTACKS AND REMOTE CONTROLS.

From internal documents to Hacking Team spread Wikileaks.org, shows a more detailed description of the software (with reference to version 5.1, document dated 2008-2010). It is a computer security system ' offensive ' and ' enables security authorities to attack and to remotely control certain pc», in fact circumventing the encrypted systems communication services like Skype.

DATA COLLECTED IN MORE THAN 320 SERVER IN THE WORLD.

In 2014, after over a year of analysis, Kaspersky has released some interesting details on the functioning of Rcs, in particular with regard to mobile devices.
Rcs, explained the Russian company, consists of several modules to the main desktop and mobile operating systems. These modules, based on the target-activated, are actually trojans, backdoors and rootkits. Malware can be physically installed via Usb or micro Sd, and remotely using a link infected or packets sent on the network connection. Once the smartphone is infected, you can take different actions, how to find your location, environmental record audio with microphone and snap photos of the subject. All data is sent to the control servers located in various parts of the world. Kaspersky has identified 326, 64 of them in the United States.

The latest hacker attack to the company stole about 500 GB data.

Among them could be the source code of this malware that might be further edited to criminals and become FUD.

Where are the rest of the servers located? Not allowed to tell Kaspersky? lol Jokes aside, this spying crap is one of the reasons why I want to drop being in IT and just go for something offline. Feeling like all my work will be futile in the end.

Yeah big surprise there... tell me something I don't know. Seems computing has become something it shouldn't be. Perverted spying with no intention on doing it to find criminal activities, but instead to get inside people lives. It violates so many laws it's no even funny. Well maybe not in all countries (like North Korea).

You translate this yourself @Klipsh ? It would make sense since it's in Italian. If so, thanks. We all know translation by Google and such aren't that great. Especially for Cyrillic, Arabic, and Asian characters. Latin characters (I prefer to call them Roman characters) work fine. For the most part anyway.
