It's developed by the Federal Criminal Police Office [0] (german BKA) They also bought another program from FinFisher as a backup that needs to be altered to fit the regulations and stuff. [0] only in German sorry: http://www.spiegel.de/netzwelt/netzpolitik/bundestrojaner-in...


I don't know what "Steigerung der passgenauen Einsatzfähigkeit" means (I speak german; I just don't know what it means), but it sounds like they still need the exploits from FinFisher.


I think it means "better aim". "Passgenau" could mean "better fitted fit" which is actually a tautology because a "fit" already "fits".

Legal German is like any other "legal Language". Not for human consumption. ;)


I would translate it freely as "to cover more specific situations", specific exploits sounds like a candidate. Or maybe for different OSes, or against different communication software their own solution can't cover.
