For me this quote of the investigator being informed by the software manufacturer is the best part of the article: > "No, that can't be right. Why would they do that?" the official said he asked his contact, thinking it a joke. Maybe don't buy spyware from malicious actors. It's ridiculous that investigators with this amount of power to invade on suspects most intimate areas of life aren't close to sufficiently briefed. Does somebody have a source on which agency the European official is supposed to be from? Using spyware that's also used by authoritarian regimes must be a bad joke. Not that our German homebrewn spyware would be any more ethical but I'd have thought that EU level agencies would at least do some level of due diligence. |

I don't think the article made any reference to EU level agencies, though. It seemed to only talk about "European officials", "Western agencies", etc., which could be EU-level or local.
