Submission + - Germany plans to email trojans (bbc.co.uk)

speardane writes: The BBC is reporting that the German authorities are planning to send emails containing trojan horses to suspected terrorists. This is apparently supported by the German chancellor despite protests.

Apparently "the spyware would be used only in a few cases and for a limited time".

It seems to me that this is even more stupid than Sony.

Perhaps the Greman authorities have never heard of emails being forwarded...

Perhaps criminals and terrorists (no I didn't say hackers) won't re-use the weapons the German government have given them...
