Comment on Hacking Team and a case of BGP hijacking

Comments

Can somebody explain how they got the police to help them?

"You remember the RAT we sold you? Yea... That's broken because ... Help us or people might notice." If that's it.. Wow. This whole story gets more fishy by the minute.

Exactly, how can the police order an ISP to commit a crime? Why did the ISP committed the crime? Hopefully both will be charged now.

The only one thing I trust here is the independence of the Italian prosecution system.

I'm not surprised, in Italy the Mafia blew up or assassinated prosecutors and lawyers threatening them. In countries where the government is not the law, anything can happen with the right sized envelops of cash.

So they hijacked an entire C block because they hard coded IP addresses into their wares. Wonderful.
