So, you might be one of many who are wondering if you are a victim of one of the exploits of from the Hacking Team hack. Now there’s a couple of tools that can help to put your mind at ease…. Maybe.
If you’re on a PC, take a look at a tool called Milano. It looks for files associated with the recent Hacking Team breach through either a quick or deep system scan. This tool is going to be frequently updated as researchers understand more about the Hacking Team’s activities. So you may want to download the latest version and re-run this test frequently for peace of mind.
Mac uses can look to Facebook for help. Yes that Facebook. Facebook has updated its Osquery tool to detect and kill an OS X-based backdoor exploit used by Hacking Team to intercept communication and capture emails, VoiP sessions and instant messages.
Now if you scan and find nothing, you’re probably in the clear. If you find something though, I would suggest calling a computer security expert as these exploits are not your run of the mill malware.
