Hacking Team: police investigate employees over inside job claims

Italian police investigate six Hacking Team employees after previous accusations over the leaking of company secrets

Italian police are investigating whether the attack on cyber-espionage firm Hacking Team, which exposed its dealings with repressive regimes and flaws in user software, could have been an inside job.

Investigative sources told Reuters they were considering the possibility that six former employees could be responsible for the attack on the company, which saw 400GB of private data dumped on the internet.
