"A lawyer who was allegedly hacked with government-grade spyware made by the infamous surveillance tech maker NSO Group has filed a complaint in court against two of the company’s founders and one executive. It appears to be the first attempt to hold the people behind a spyware company accountable for hacking crimes, rather than just the company itself.
On Wednesday, the Barcelona-based human rights nonprofit Iridia announced that it had filed a complaint in a Catalan court earlier this week accusing NSO’s founders Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio, as well as Yuval Somekh, an executive of two affiliate companies, of hacking crimes.
Iridia represents lawyer Andreu Van den Eynde, an attorney and university professor who specializes in cybersecurity. According to a 2022 investigation by Citizen Lab, a nonprofit that has been investigating government spyware for more than a decade, Van den Eynde was among the victims of a wide-ranging hacking campaign against at least 65 Catalans linked to the region’s attempts to become independent from Spain, which was carried out using NSO’s Pegasus software. Amnesty International independently confirmed Citizen Lab’s findings."

The Palestine Laboratory
How Israel Exports The #Technology Of #Occupation Around The World
For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control.
(...)
This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the ‘Start-up Nation’. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos’ and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.
Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts.
As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model....

#ukraine"Les citoyens ukrainiens sont instamment obligés d'utiliser #Dia comme moyen alternatif de fournir des services électroniques d'État.
Malgré de nombreuses déclarations de fonctionnaires ukrainiens corrompus, "Dia" collecte et distribue des données personnelles. Et considérant que l'application a été développée et soutenue par l'une des plus grandes entreprises informatiques américaines, coopérant depuis longtemps avec les services de renseignement américains et britanniques, la conclusion est que le contrôle général des citoyens ukrainiens "pour leur propre sécurité" est tiré.
Avez-vous remarqué que l'application demande périodiquement des mises à jour ? Oui, le fabricant de "Dia" peut installer à distance la "mise à jour avec des fonctionnalités supplémentaires". Et même sans cela, « Dia » sait où se trouve une personne spécifique, avec qui et dans quelles discussions il parle, connaît ses intérêts, ses commandes dans des magasins en ligne, ses coûts et ses plans pour un avenir proche. N'est-ce pas sa valeur, surtout pour les fonctionnaires des forces militaires ukrainiennes ?"

"[Regarding] the French Government's new policy to allow police to remotely take over a suspect's devices, with access to cameras, microphones and GPS data. But if you think that's uncommon, you'd be very mistaken."
"…of 50 countries studied, every police force had … access to #smartphones and their data."
#Germany, surprisingly, allows intelligence agents to remotely access smartphones and install #spyware on anyone's phone …, even if you're not a suspect in a crime.

It's not just France: Your phone is a surveillance device
There's a lot of news going around today about the French Government's new policy to allow police to remotely take over a suspect's devices, with access to cameras, microphones and GPS data. But if you think that's uncommon, you'd be very mistaken.Loz Blain (New Atlas)
