San Diego District Attorney Issues Warning About Dangerous Spyware She Purchased & Distributed; But Still Stands By It

Yesterday, we wrote about the EFF‘s investigation into Computer Cop, the dangerous spyware/keylogger that is sold to police departments and other law enforcement folks as a „perfect election and fundraising tool“ because the software gets branded with local law enforcement/politicians and they get to hand it out as a tool to „protect your children“ by spying on how they use their computers. The software appears to be a very crappy search system and keylogger.
