Der Spiegel revealed a stranger story in its magazine yesterday. According to the report, a top German security official installed a trojan on his own daughter's computer to monitor her Internet usage. What could possibly go wrong?

Nothing—well, at least until one of the daughter's friends found the installed spyware. The friend then went after the dad's personal computer as a payback and managed to get in, where he found a cache of security-related e-mails from work. The e-mails, in turn, provided the information necessary for hackers to infiltrate Germany's federal police.

That guy needs to stop bringing his work home with him.

This is fairly disturbing as 1) I live in Germany and 2) German police have far reaching powers, far more intrusive than anything our police have and 3) The open borders here have made the place a mess as far as importation of crime and criminal types from other countries. Should make things fairly interesting for the next few days, weeks, months and years...
