Why is the state of Germany trojanizing applications which may be run by anyone on the planet?
Why is the U.S. government interfering with the publication of security advisories if the corresponding software is being run throughout the world? The German government funds the AN.ON project, but allowed for a great deal of independence. Naturally, this independence does not extend to the law, thanks to separation of powers. Now a judge has forced the operators to implement a surveillance interface, which is possible because of a design weakness. But that's just the beginning of the legal process. The project has announced that it plans to fight, but within the legal system.
How is it they believe they have a right to trojanize someone outside of Germany?
Nobody forces you to use the German service if you don't trust the operators or (thanks to recent events) German law enforcement.
This is blatantly illegal in just about every country outside of Germany. Literally.
No, it isn't. Most countries with communication infrastructure have laws that regulate law enforcement access. This is not a "stupid local law" issue. Your country is eavesdropping foreign communication as well.
Or, do they believe they are superior to other countries, and they may invade at will?
Please check the facts. Germany doesn't an operate eavesdropping base in the U.S., but the U.S. do in Germany. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it. Charter: http://lists.netsys.com/full-disclosure-charter.html
