The R2D2 has been criticized for malware makers to initiate and potentially allow the software to capture images on the infected computer.
The German Minister of Justice called for a probe using national and state controversial software.
Ironically, the Trojan is considered to be sophisticated enough to defeat anti-virus software that would be able to infiltrate unsecured computers - something is probably not the expert computer users.

Digital software company confirmed the role of the program and also to sell to state and federal agencies in Switzerland, the Netherlands and Austria.
But how far the authorities should come to look online?
