Submission + - Cyber Attacks on Activists Traced to FinFisher Spyware of Gamma (bloomberg.com)
Sherloqq writes: FinFisher, a spyware sold by U.K.- based Gamma Group, can secretly take remote control of a computer, copying files, intercepting Skype calls and logging every keystroke.
For the past year, human rights advocates and virus hunters have scrutinized FinFisher, seeking to uncover potential abuses. They got a glimpse of its reach when a FinFisher sales pitch to Egyptian state security was uncovered after that country’s February 2011 revolution. In December, anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks published Gamma promotional videos showing how police could plant FinFisher on a target’s computer.

Comment What is the benefit of Microcells over UMA? (Score 1) 82
I'm a Rogers customer out of Ontario with a wifi-capable cell phone. Reception in my neck of the woods sucks. However, my phone (a Blackberry Curve) has built-in wifi and supports UMA. For $5 / month extra, I can piggyback my calls over broadband internet and they simply get billed against my minutes. I can use this with any wifi hotspot in Ontario (and probably in Canada).
Pros: no hassles with GPS, placing equipment near windows; portability (don't have to take a microcell with me); cost
Cons: used to be a free service, but is not anymore; a UMA-compatible handset is required to leverage this

In early days of my working life one of managers would say, "The Perfect Is the Enemy of the Good" all the time. I think this is true for sound on linux...
