A company named 'Hacking Team' who do help cops in hacking citizens, has been hacked itself.
In some series of Tweets from the Firm's comprised twitter account, the yet to be identified hackers appear to have revealed embarrassing inhouse email messages and a torrent with 400GB of inhouse files, source code, and communications. As at the time of writing, no hacking group have claimed responsibility for the breach yet.

As reported by Yahoo;
"The Firm has more than 40 employees and sells commercial hacking software to law enforcement in several dozen countries, including Morocco, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates. A recent report from Motherboard revealed that the Hacking Team also supplies spyware tools to the Drug Enforcement Agency to implant software in a suspect’s phone and record texts, emails, passwords, and monitor conversations.
Hacking Team is infamous in security circles for injecting targeted malware into YouTube and Microsoft’s Live services. "

Formed by two Italian programmers, the pair originally created a program called Ettercap that quickly became the weapon of choice for hackers wanting to spy on people. The success of Ettercap led to Hacking Team, and now attention from rival hackers who have renamed the company’s Twitter account to “Hacked Team.”
