A Italian company called “Hacking Team” which makes surveillance software used by governments to tap into phones and computers has been revealed  seven servers are located in Aotearoa New Zealand. The Hacking Team company has developed Mobile infector’s that install onto the users Mobile phones.

Once the end user phone has been infected the New Zealand government can steal files, read emails, take photos and record conversations.

Hacking team offer their services to third world despots in Ethiopia, Bahrain, Egypt, Kazakhstan, Morocco, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Sudan, Azerbaijan and Turkey.

The National Government has installed seven of Hacking team servers operating in New Zealand while Australia only has four.

The National government can  pretend that these spy servers are intended for Police surveillance it’s patently obvious the regimes that employ hacking team have no intention of using this system to prevent child pornography e.g Sudan. The hacking team C2 servers are used to spy on opposition parties and political activists.

The fact seven servers are located in New Zealand was revealed after the company hacking team were the victim of hacking themselves. The biggest mystery is why have the complicit mainstream media not investigated this scandal.  This is another example of the National government stacking the deck in its quest to retain power at all costs.
