In 2013, the University of Toronto-based research group Citizen Lab reported detecting software known as FinFisher, described by its distributor Gamma International as "governmental IT intrusion and remote monitoring solutions," on 36 servers worldwide, including one in Malaysia.[129] The software potentially allows the server to steal passwords, tap Skype calls, or record audio and video without permission from other computers, according to Citizen Lab. The Malaysian Insider subsequently documented FinFisher's presence in Malaysia based on a New York Times report.[130] The MCMC threatened The Malaysian Insider with criminal charges, though none were filed. However, Citizen Lab later reported they had further identified "a Malaysian election-related document" they characterized as a "booby-trapped candidate list" containing surveillance spyware.[131] Because the spyware is only marketed to governments, "it is reasonable to assume that some government actor is responsible," the group concluded. A separate Citizen Lab report published in 2014 said a Malaysian government agency was a "current or former user" of Remote Control System spyware marketed by the Milan-based Hacking Team.[132]
