Hacking Team CEO Talks Down Seriousness of Data Breach of Its Systems

 A week after saying a massive data breach had left its technology open to abuse by “terrorists, extortionists and others,” Italy-based surveillance software maker Hacking Team sought to assure governments and other clients on Tuesday that the situation isn’t really that dire. In a statement posed Tuesday on the company’s website, Hacking Team CEO David Vincenzetti called the breach “a reckless and vicious crime” that is under investigation by Italian authorities.
