Finfisher

Mentioned on the BBC programme "File on 4 - Cyber Spies" for supplying cyber-surveillance solutions to the Mubarak government in Egypt pre the Arab Spring uprising. Denied by Gamama International but reports of how it allowed the Mubarak regime to monitor Skype, Hotmail and GMail messages of dissidents.



Hosni Mubarak, his former prime minister Ahmed Nazif and interior minister Habib el-Adli seem to have been instrumental in government run cyber-spying.
Quote from The Egyptian Gazette:
In February, Vodafone also accused the authorities of using its network to send pro-government text messages to subscribers.
