G. Macias Jorge Alvear: The Da Vinci software – Columistas – Opinion … – The Universe

In an interview on Ecuavisa this week, he was asked by prosecutor Mr state whether it should initiate investigations into a possible espionage (political) run from the Senain, given the emergence of many documents hacked the company Hacking Team (many assume illegal interception of emails from political figures and people identified as opponents of the government), to which Mr. Galo Chiriboga said: “There is no better guarantee the functioning of the state and state agencies subject to the Constitution, the law and judicial control … in Colombia has been that (illegal opposition espionage) in Ecuador has not happened and will not happen while we are “. This categorical statement must be accompanied by the offer of an investigation, to reassure something rare climate lived Ecuadorian society with many modern socio-economic and political problems. It is not enough to dismiss it, the absence of a contract between the Senain and Hacker Team, as this would have operated in other countries with associated. In Colombia the Nice Systems (Israel) and Robotec (Colombia). Besides spending available reserved for intelligence and counterintelligence, not subject to the law of the national public procurement system.

They are in the same interview, security expert, referring to Hacking Team (it has emerged that Ecuador includes among its customers), he said the company builds software spies to offer them security agencies of the states, that within the legal framework to carry out espionage and interception of information. He said the problem is not the service offered by Hacking Team, but “what the customers governments of this tool.” He mentioned that in Colombia, senior officials of the former government are imprisoned for manipulations and illegal wiretapping. He stated the problem: “Governments sometimes tend not to respect due process and use these tools without proper court order”

Obviously, you can not expect an official in charge of intelligence voluntarily accept responsibility. in situations of breach of due process, hence the need for a serious, technical, independent and strict.

The audit requested by the Attorney General Lord to the Agency for the Control and Regulation of Telecommunications (Arcotel ) on tracks made from 2013 until today ignores citizens and affected cases not involved in crimes, who want to establish whether or not there was interception of emails by the Senain without due legal basis clamor. This is clear from the information disseminated internationally, including through WikiLeaks (Julian Assange). Moreover, Hacking Team has not denied the veracity of the information that was stolen will. In Italy, Milan prosecutors opened investigations corresponde- like about this company, known for selling programs to “surveillance, espionage and control objectives” of governments, including schemes that disrespect human rights.

It is also known that its “flagship” is the Da Vinci program. This allows to spy on the contents of a computer, tablet or mobile phone and capture e-mails, chats, Skype or instant messaging (including WhatsApp), photograph the “objective” record keystrokes, access the hard disk and security keys encrypted .

Who will defend us? (O)
