| The Slovak security software company responds to threats leaked from security agencies in its latest solutions for households
Researchers from the cyber security software company Eset have detected surveillance campaigns utilising a new variant of FinFisher, the infamous spyware also known as FinSpy. Seven countries are affected and in two of them, major internet providers have most likely been involved in infecting the targets of surveillance. Eset did not specify who in order to avoid putting anyone in danger.
“In two of the campaigns, the spyware has been spread via a man-in-the-middle attack and we believe that major internet providers have played the role of the man in the middle,” explained Filip Kafka, the Eset malware analyst who conducted the research, as cited in the company’s press release.
FinFisher is spyware marketed as a law enforcement tool and sold to governmental agencies around the world. It is also believed to have been used by oppressive regimes.
