Plenty of ink has already been spilled about the Hacking Team's spectacularsecurity meltdown (http://www.engadget.com/2015/07/09/how-spyware-peddler-hacking-team-was-publicly-dismantled/), but why should the press have all the fun? WikiLeaks posted a searchable archive (https://www.wikileaks.org/hackingteam/emails/) of over a million emails from the Italian IT firm last night, which means armchair sleuths can take a peek into the cloak-and-dagger world of selling spyware to governments with just a few clicks. Now obviously not everything contained in this hefty database is damning; lots of it just chronicles the day-to-day operations of a lucrative business. Every once in a while, you'll find something almost shocking in its mundanity, like thiscorporate email blast (https://www.wikileaks.org/hackingteam/emails/emailid/33793) about restaurants in London that wound up in Hacking Team COO Giancarlo Russo's inbox. Still, there are plenty of juicier tidbits waiting for you if you keep a few keywords in mind.
