Paybacks are hell: Parental spying prompts infiltration of German police system
Der Spiegel published a story in yesterday's edition of their magazine that the hack on the German police surveillance system "Patras" was prompted by a senior officer spying on his daughter's internet activities.
The Patras system is used by the police to track suspects using so-called "silent" SMSs and GPS tracking devices planted on automobiles.
It appears that a senior policeman from Frankfurt am Main installed spyware onto his daughter's computer to keep an eye on her online activities.
