A #Swiss telecommunications engineer and former payment processor for #Wikileaks, an entrepreneur who supports the libertarian #PirateParty now masterminds a global surveillance infrastructure that he has placed at the disposal of governments and companies. It allows his customers to pinpoint the location of #mobilephones the world over to the level of the #celltower. It has also facilitated interception of messages and takeover of internet accounts.
Exclusive documents and data from multiple telecom industry sources, gathered by #LighthouseReports and partners over more than a year of investigation, reveal how Fink's systems have served as a conduit for probing and attacking phone networks across the globe, especially in the global south. In the last six months traces of these attacks have been flashing red in Africa and Europe, in the Americas and South East Asia.
