Hacking Team’ Loses License to Sell Surveillance Malware Outside Europe

Hacking Team is infamous for selling surveillance spyware to governments and intelligence agencies worldwide. Italian export authorities have revoked the company’s license to sell its spyware outside of Europe. Italian Ministry of Economic Development (MISE) said the company would now have to get an ‘individual’ license, revoking its “global authorization” to export its Galileo Remote Control System. The company had sold its malware to authorities in Egypt, Morocco, Brazil, Malaysia, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, Mexico, and Panama. It had also signed big contracts with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
