At the beginning of July 2015400 GB of internal information leaked due to hackingIt was revealed that the Italian security company "Hacking Team" that made it was making hardware for Wi-Fi hacking that can be carried with drone. The Hacking Team is also a company selling software for public surveillance for government agencies and it becomes frightening as to what customer this hardware came in hand.

According to the leak information from Hacking Team, the company developed hardware that attacks computers and mobile terminals via Wi-Fi and incorporated it as a new module of the remote control system "Galileo".

This is a new "Galileo", also attracted attention in the world's largest weapons fair "International Defense Exhibition (IDEX) 2015" held in Abu Dhabi in February, the unmanned aerial vehicle used by the US NavyRQ - 21 "Integrator"DevelopedBoeing · InsitsuIt also attracted the interest of.

In April, Inside used an intern named Giuseppe Vennelli and contacted Mr. Emad Shetaha, account manager at Hacking Team. Since the potential of integrating the company's own airlift system and Hacking Team's "Galileo" is attractive, I will inform you that I want to talk. After this, we have talked a few times and I know that as of May, I had arrived just before the proprietary information contract was concluded.

Besides, aside from the case of Boeing In-Shits, due to the information leakage from the Hacking Team this time, Korea's Information Institution and National Intelligence Service has also revealed that he purchased a hacking program from Hacking Team. The National Intelligence Service explained that this hacking program is "for North Korea", but it turned out that he was actually asking for customization to be able to monitor the free messaging application "Kakao Talk", from Hacking Team A staff member who was purchasing and operating softwares suicide.

By the way, I know that Hacking Team customers include Russia, but despite the EU banning exporting monitoring tools, spyware etc. to Russia on Thursday, July 31, 2014 , There is a doubt that it sold spyware to the Russian government agencies on August 28, 2014 later. A spokeswoman for Hacking Team denies the relationship that "Russia is not a customer already," but he did not clearly answer when the last deal was.

Also, due to this case, the security company Netragard had been doing it until thenExploitWe are ceasing selling. Until now Netragard has targets ethical people and companies to sell exploit information such as zero day vulnerability to the last, and has insisted that it is not only a bad thing because of zero day vulnerability, for example, "Hacking Team "I realized that they can not fully investigate the new buyers' ethics and intentions."

Hacking was done by 6 former employees of Hacking TeamIn this case, which is being investigated in this way, it is not just the level of "the company that sold the hacking tool was attacked by the counterattacks" and it has not spread beyond the level of the countries around here. However, from a perspective of the level of PC users, even with malware as provided by Hacking Team,Effective with commercially available vulnerability attack detection toolIt seems that it is a point that you can feel at ease though it turned out to be that.

At the beginning of the information leakage, as 400 GB of analysis progresses, it is said to be more and more important, but is there something big story still remaining ...?
