I showed some of the Flirtmoji to a friend, and she wasn’t surprised when I told her that you’re a woman. We realized that we needed to do this, to draw up sex as icons, and make it completely comprehensive, funny, and diverse.

To gain access to information on the devices of Syrian opposition members, hackers posed as women on Skype, identified the types of devices the targets were using and sent photos laden with malware. What the fighter did not know was that buried in the code of the second photo was a particularly potent piece of malware that copied files from his computer, including tactical battle plans and troves of information about him, his friends and fellow fighters.
