[gull] Spyware pour écouter les conversations VoIP en Suisse

[Olivier Bornet]

Bonjour à tous,

tiré de slashdot aujourd'hui :

  "Swiss to Use Spyware to Listen to VoIP
  
  Heise Security is reporting that the Swiss Department of the
  Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications is entertaining the
  idea of utilizing the 'Superintendant Trojan', a spyware program
  designed to allow eavesdropping on VoIP conversations. According to
  ERA IT Solutions, the creator of the software, it will only be
  distributed to investigation agencies in the hopes of keeping it out
  of the hands of malicious hackers since firewalls apparently 'do not
  present a problem' for the software."

où on y trouve entre autre :

    "...The wiretap has some additional functions. For example, the
    built in microphone on a laptop can be turned on to monitor a room
    or webcams can be activated. As the latter is usually indicated by
    an LED, this is unlikely to be useful in practice. Once wiretap
    activities have been completed, the software can be programmed to
    uninstall itself at a given time..."

Dingue, non ?

Bonne journée à tous.

        Olivier
