detekt: One tool που απευθύνεται σε δημοσιογράφους και ακτιβιστές ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων οι οποίοι θέλουν τους υπολογιστές τους ασφαλείς από γνωστά spyware monitorings was launched by Amnesty International, in collaboration with organizations in the fields of technology and human rights.
According to Amnesty International, the Detekt is the first tool που καθίσταται διαθέσιμο στο κοινό το οποίο εντοπίζει «σεσημασμένα» προγράμματα παρακολούθησης- spyware σε υπολογιστές, κάποια εκ των οποίων χρησιμοποιούνται από κυβερνητικές υπηρεσίες.
"Governments are increasingly using risky and sophisticated technology that allows them to read private email activists and journalists and remotely activate the camera or microphone of the computer to secretly record their activities. They are using technology in a cowardly attempt to avoid criticism of their possible disclosure, "says Marc Mansynski, an Amnesty International executive.
“Detekt is a simple tool that will alert activists to these types of intrusions so they can take action. It is a counterattack against governments that use information which have been acquired through surveillance to arbitrarily detain, illegally arrest and even torture human rights activists and journalists,” he adds.
Detekt was developed by Claude Guarneri and was launched by Amnesty International in collaboration with Digitale Gesellschaft, Electronic Frontier Foundation and Privacy International.
