Coinbase’s Newest Team Members Helped Authoritarians Worldwide Monitor Journalists and Dissidents:

This history, which Coinbase has now acknowledged it was aware of before the acquisition, has made Hacking Team a long-running target of criticism in cybersecurity and civil rights circles. In 2013, Hacking Team was named one of five Corporate Enemies of the Internet by Reporters Without Borders (RSF), an international nonprofit aimed at protecting journalists. Hacking Team’s collaboration with authoritarians may have been ideologically motivated rather than merely mercenary: Its founder and former CEO, David Vincenzetti, regularly signed emails with the slogan “Boi chi Molla”—an Italian Fascist rallying cry.
