Police have admitted to bugging SHAC, however it's what tehy don't admit to that is more interesting.
As expected SHAC was bugged by the police. This isn't a surprise. What is interesting is that Police have knowledge of files that SHAC supposedly securely erased.
This means that either the police had an virus on SHAC members computers or that SHAC has a apolice informer in it's ranks.It is likely that both are true however the amount of knowledge police seem to have could only have been acquired by them having a software bug on SHAC computers.
This is something all activists must be careful about. The Police are putting backdoors onto peoples computers. Virus checkers won't spot them as they will not be known by anti-virus companies.
What can we do against this new threat?
