The FinFisher/FinSpy story, for posterity.

FinFisher (aka FinSpy) is a product marketed by a shell called Lench IT Solutions PLC, a subsidiary of Gamma International Ltd, a UK corporation subsidiary of Gamma International GmbH, a German corporation subsidiary of Gamma Group, which is owned through a web of offshore shells by an obnoxious septuagenarian named William Louthean Nelson. The whole charade is a GTSi marketing a bevy of dubious, relatively useless proprietary repackaging of buggy software that does not approach the reliability, quality or flexibility of open source alternatives.

FinFisher source code, pricing, support history, and other related data were retrieved from the Gamma International internal network and made available on the Internet a couple of days ago, but before we get to thatii, here are a few words from the hacker :
