[Chapter-delegates] HK Protesters Targeted with Spyware

[DANIEL NANGHAKA]

I think there is need for open access and enhancement on cyber security.
>From this I strongly believe that there is no device that is 100% safe.

Despite the fact that there is need to promote open data, data has become
so volatile that government can do anything to get data and information
from users. This is surveillance.

Crossing the line of Apples security is not a joke and I believe this big
organisation or state agencies work together with the Ios team to create
security loopholes.

It is the first time it is happening despite all these probably there is
need for a security patch.

The nearest comparison to this trojan is the Heart Bleed Attack whic
spreads like a wild fire sending information.

This is a wake up call to Apple Team.

This follows the furture of the Internet and Net Mundial, The Internet is
in danger and our government want to take over the internet. We need to
decree and promote open Internet with enhancement in security.
