Israel jails spyware-for-hire couple

An Israeli couple that was making and selling spyware has confessed. For their troubles Michael Haephrati (44) received 4 years in prison and his wife, Ruth Brier-Haephrati (28) received 2 years in prison. The irony here being that Michael was the accomplice. Ah well, sucks to be him. The short form of this story is that the duo were writing software that helped some private dicks to snoop on their clients’ business competition.
