Netragard, one of the small number of companies that buys and sells exploits, has shut down its exploit acquisition program in the wake of the HackingTeam breach. CEO Adriel Desautels said in the immediate aftermath of the breach that it was ending its relationship with Hacking Team. The company said they only sold one exploit to the company and characterized it as en exception to the normal policy of only dealing with customers in the United States. Critics question the morality of selling such tools, especially given the difficulty of knowing how buyers will use the bugs and exploits.
