Concerns Corriere della Sera, the version of Vincenzetti (that does not match that of Ghioni), the opinion of Tavaroli heard by the Fact Daily, the list of States customers told by leaders of society to Hacking Team and the latest reconstructions

The violent cyberattack against his creature, the Milan-based company Hacking Team, made public 400 gigabytes of confidential documents, which could put it on my knees and that are sparking concerns for our National security. But for its founder and president, David Vincenzetti , “the company will recover standing”, even if “what happened” is not “by any people … but because of its complexity” must be conducted “at the government level or by an organization that possessed very considerable funds.”
VERSION VINCENZETTI
The slopes are many and the blow was very hard, not deny it (here accounts and customers of the company). Among the stolen information are useful to rebuild every aspect, even the most private of the life and work of the company: email conversations between employees, external relations, technical details of the products, but also relationships with private and institutional clients , among which would be set even the presidency of the Council, the Italian secret services and other rogue states. But Vincenzetti, 47, wanted to give his version of events. In an interview with Print together granted to company spokesman, Eric Rabe , “Vincenzetti says confidently that” there has been no malfeasance in relation Hacking team by officials of the Presidency of the Council or of the Italian agencies’ “. In recent days he had been the director of Dis, Giampiero Massolo , to clarify before the Copasir the contours of the matter.
As for the consequences, “of course, some of the modules can be stolen and made public be used by the targets of the investigations to check if your devices are infected. But only briefly. “Within a few days we will release updates that can overcome the problem.” As with the virus, so by Galileo, which is basically a virus, obsolescence is very rapid. “By the end of the year will be released later version 10 software, which will exceed totally what happened ‘.”
RELATIONS CONTROVERSIAL
As for the discussion international relations of the company, accused by some organizations to sell their software to illiberal regimes, Rabe confirms today to BBC that the company has “sold the program to Russia, Sudan and Ethiopia and have pulled the plug when it was no longer allowed the sale of weapons (even) technology in Khartoum, but without going into the merits of that date, however, tell another within the published files. Hacking team claims to have acted in the same way before the invasion of the Crimea, “it was my decision,” says Vincenzetti, and when, as in the case of Ethiopia, came to light the espionage activities of journalists. ”
THE MEMBER CUSTOMER
Yes, we traded with Libya, Vince admits, but “we did it when suddenly it seemed that the Libyans had become our best friends, “writes Print who interviewed the leaders of the company. With Syria, however, no relationship, as they are recognized relations with Egypt and Morocco. As to Ethiopia, “when we heard that Galileo had been used to spy on a journalist opponent of the government, we asked about this, and in 2014 we closed the supply”.
THE SOFTWARE
And always the newspaper Via Solferino, Vincenzetti says instead “as Remote control system, so the system is called, is based on a total separation between the activities of Hacking Team and the customer. “We do not know what they do not see their data and we handle them in any way”, he clarifies. The only exchange takes for updates, as if it were a virus. Updates that are also ways in which you can break relations if there are doubts about the use that the customer makes the software “.
The ALARM Tavaroli
The calm of Vincenzetti is not however shared by Giuliano Tavaroli , formerly head of security of Telecom-Pirelli and fresh from the plea bargain sentence of four years for dossier illegal collected while serving that role. Today he is a consultant for corporate security and information and in a conversation with Fact Daily published today stressed that the deal HT is a “disaster of global dimensions.” No one remarked, “know what information has this hacker and what you’re doing.” The manager says, could be got hold of “password to administer the platforms with which our judicial police manages people under investigation”. For this, many surveys right now could “be firm”.
THE FOOTSTEPS OF LIABILITY
So far the fears related to the effects of the attack. But are still too many questions about the principal also a hack so sophisticated. Always on Corsera , Fiorenza Sarzanini today underlines that “the attack on” Hacking Team “may have been planned by a group of cyber criminals financed by a foreign state. A country could also be “friend” of Italy “, an assumption that in times of cyber intelligence does not seem so unfounded. “This is – continues the journalist – the hypothesis that seems to prevail in the survey on intrusion systems of the Milan-based company that ten days ago has resulted in the loss of thousands and thousands of sensitive data. Although all the tracks remain open, including that of a planned action by a rival company. “
THE THESIS GHIONI
This Edition Online Fact Daily , directed by Peter Gomez is Fabio Ghioni , an expert on unconventional technologies became famous for being at the head of the Tiger Team Telecom, to draw a hypothesis little “conventional”. According to the expert “steal 400 gigabytes of data in a company called Hacking Team without noticing it” is “impossible”. “And it is unlikely that a disgruntled employee managed to shield them and hand them over to WikiLeaks,” concludes Ghioni, convinced that “behind the complaint of the Milan Hacking Team there is a clear ‘exit strategy’ of society itself.” “After sold in dogs and pigs, they realized that their spy software had gotten out of hand. So they chose the flight data to create chaos and avoid, somehow, something worse. ” This is his thesis.
The REMARK OF QUINTARELLI
But Stefano Quintarelli , deputy of Civic Choice and expert telecommunications, one of the pioneers of digital in Italy, in a post on his blog raised from Formiche.net said he found “quite surprising (and in some ways disturbing) that 400GB of data from leaving the company (and the kind of company) without anyone noticing. ” Not only. From expert he added not to share also “the statement, which is reported by the press, so HT believes that its tool of espionage do not fall in instruments subject to embargo for arms. If it was the 128-bit encryption, more so should be the RCS – Remote Control System. Whenever you approach issues of intelligence – notes – the ground becomes very rough, because you have to balance conflicting interests. Something that deserves a lot of caution and reflection. It is the reason why I intervened in the conversion of DL Terrorism with an amendment that averted the possibility of using, for a large set of offenses, sensors to capture files from target computers, without the knowledge of the suspects (just the sort of thing that makes the RCS). “
