Kushal Das: When governments attack: malware campaigns against activists and journalists

This year at Nullcon Eva gave her talk on When governments attack: malware campaigns against activists and journalists. After introducing EFF, she explained about Dark Caracal, a possibly state-sponsored malware campaign. If we leave aside all technical aspects, this talk has a few other big points to remember.

• No work is done by a single rock star; this project was a collaboration between people from Lookout and EFF.
• We should take an ethics class before writing a "Hello World" program in computer science classes.
• People have the choice of not working for any group who will use your technical skills to abuse human rights

Please watch this talk and tell me over Twitter what do you think.
