Case-tracking software with an alleged back door, sold to every intelligence service on Earth.

The Prosecutor's Management Information System: genuinely superb 1970s case-tracking software whose ability to integrate disparate databases made it, per the allegations that consumed two decades of litigation and a House inquiry, the perfect vehicle for a backdoor — modified copies allegedly distributed to foreign intelligence services so their case files reported home. The Hamilton family's claims were never fully adjudicated; the House Judiciary Committee (1992) recommended further investigation that never came. Ex-Mossad and BCCI-adjacent testimony kept the story alive. Connects the Octopus, Five Eyes practice, and the Crypto AG revelation — which proved the identical business model, at a different company, true.
