Are you being watched? FinFisher government spy tool found hiding as
WhatsApp and Skype

Malware used by intelligence agencies spotted in 7 countries, experts said.

Legitimate downloads of popular software including WhatsApp, Skype and
VLC Player are allegedly being hacked at an internet service provider
(ISP) level to spread an advanced form of surveillance software known
as "FinFisher", cybersecurity researchers warn.

FinFisher is sold to global governments and intelligence agencies and
can be used to snoop on webcam feeds, keystrokes, microphones and web
browsing. Documents, previously published by WikiLeaks, indicate that
one tool called "FinFly ISP" may be linked to the case.

The digital surveillance tools are peddled by an international firm
called Gamma Group.
