New: Government spyware vendor Wolf Intelligence left a treasure trove of its own data online for all to see in an open server and a public Google Drive folder.

Leak included data exfiltrated from surveillance targets, customer meetings, and more.

motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…
In case you don't remember Wolf Intelligence, let me refresh your memory.

Their CEO, Manish Kumar, sent an innocent Italian bodyguard to Mauritania. The bodyguard was kidnapped and taken hostage for 20 months after a deal went wrong.

Also, as @iblametom reported at the time, the company has some questionable business ethics. forbes.com/sites/thomasbr…
So much so that Hacking Team's CEO said Wolf Intelligence CEO Manish Kumar is a "criminal of the worst kind."
Also, as a bonus, here's a 2016 Wolf Intelligence brochure that, to my knowledge, had never been published before. documentcloud.org/documents/5017…
Last thing, if you thought Hacking Team, FinFisher and NSO were bad, these guys appear to be much worse.

The lawful intercept industry, as @cda argued in this piece (motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…) is at a turning point and it may get real ugly.

New: Citizen Lab has found traces of NSO Group spyware in 45 countries, including US, France, Turkey, UAE, Mexico, over the last two years.

These are not necessarily customers but this gives an idea of just how big NSO'S footprint is.

If you're wondering that it's a bit weird for an Israeli company to be selling to countries like UAE, which in theory have no diplomatic relations, my source has an answer for you. motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/…
In updated statement NSO Group says it's spyware "is specifically designed to not operate in the USA," and only in "approved" countries.

Thread (1/7): @TheEconomist published a Special Report Titled "Fixing the #Internet", which relied on #Centralisation as its core lens

Huge victory for a technical community that has spent decade explaining how the architecture & ethos of the internet are under attack.

6 arts!
2. "But like Sir Tim, many people have recently become more critical of it (...) At the heart of their disenchantment, this special report will argue, is that the internet has become much more “centralised” than it was even ten years ago."
economist.com/special-report…
3. #Decentralisation is ultimately a question of #democracy. As digital technology penetrates society ever more deeply & the two become ever more intertwined, the rules of the former will increasingly govern the latter" economist.com/special-report…

1/ Whenever I ask for evidence of Trump-Russia collusion, I get this circular-reasoning response:
How do you know that there was no collusion?
My answer: I'm NOT claiming there was no collusion, but I see #ZEROEvidence that Trump colluded. SHOW me your EVIDENCE!
2/ If I were to claim that you murdered someone, I would need to provide evidence of this. My claim does not make it have some sort of merit. If you insist you did not do this and want me to stop pushing such as accusation in public b/c it really did not happen, that makes sense.
3/ Would an innocent person remain silent in the face of a massive campaign by those who don't like that person making unsubstantiated claims? Would they not want to put an end to it? If I were #Trump, I would want this thing shut down too as it looks to be a witch hunt.
