Trojan Built for Industrial Espionage

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the cloak-dagger-and-the-almighty-buck dept.

xPertCodert writes "Some of the largest Israeli companies are involved in the major industral espionage case, in which private investigators implanted specially crafted Trojan horses on the computers at unsuspecting companies in a bid to obtain priviledged financial and technical data. Given the current state of Windows security and advances in spyware, probably any company has become a very easy target for such spy attack from competitors"

    I like the smooth transition from Industrial espionage to M$ bashing. Next up on /.. Mothra versus 50foot Bill Gates: Who'd win in a Tokyo downtown duel?

    Were this technology to be used against the USA, would it be considered terrorism by the Bush administration? Indeed, it is well-known that the the current regime will not prosecute Israelis for crimes, and if anything, is willing to participate jointly in such acts (ie. the illegal massacre and rape of Iraq).
