Chaos Computer Club: The German state trojan has been cracked - Current - FAZ. I'm linking to the FAZ. And then to an article where the FAZ uses the CCC as an expert source. But such things happen when your own executive wants to screw over the citizens and just builds constitutionally illegal trojans that are supposed to spy on the citizens. And in the process does things like implementing arbitrarily reloadable (and thus unchecked) code - and then has the whole thing checked for security by verifying an IP address to a redirect server in the USA. Which is just great again. Oh, and you can also deposit data on the computers of the suspects with the software. And of course without any control. No investigator would do that, that would be illegal. About as illegal as the whole trojan. And of course we trust the people who come up with such things, don't we?
