We probably all followed the discussion in Germany about the "Bundestrojaner" and how it failed.
And of course, a trojan spying on citizens is a major impact in privacy, which is not acceptable.
However I don't think, that it's possible to create such a trojan and use it, because of the following facts:
- It's not very easy to put a trojan in a system of a prudent user, who updates regularly and doesn't open every mail or document received. - Virusscanners will soon know the trojan - The swiss government doesn't have enough power to force antivirus software creators to ignore the trojan. - Not all criminals use Windows ;-)
Still I'm happy, that we SwiNOGers are not the only ones worrying and/or fighting this project. Even if this project doesn't work, it will burn lots of money while trying to do so.
Kind regards, Viktor

I thought I'd say some words for all small and medium sized ISPs while I had the SDA/ATS journalist on the phone.
