They are accused in Israel of developing a Trojan Horse program for use in industrial espionage. Last year, it is alleged, the couple hacked into 'scores of computers in Israel, including computers belonging to large and leading companies,' from their residences in Britain and Germany. The Trojan Horse program acted as a type of spyware that 'extracted computer files and entire directories from infected computers' which were then sent to servers in Israel and other countries. The program was sold to private investigators who offered industrial espionage services to various companies; those companies are currently being investigated in Israel, but 'prosecutors are struggling to indict the companies that ordered the business information, due to the legal difficulties in proving that they that the information was obtained by illegal means.''"
