Spyware: a tool or a threat?

Tools such as Candiru, Predator, and Pegasus are not new. While primarily deployed by governments, their use has at times fallen outside legal bounds. Given the diversity of governmental ideologies and interests, the resulting target sets can be unlikely bedfellows.

Pegasus has been recently at the core of many controversies. Spain, Hungary, Morocco or Greece, to name a few, and other governments have been using it in ways which have resulted in political implications.

In addition to spyware, you can also revert back to other article in this blog related to the use of Encrochat by criminal organizations (Sky ECC and al.) and the way authorities through their law enforcement agencies have reacted to it.

It seems that increasing capabilities in the digital realm leads humanity to better ways to control behaviours. It is a trend which is being shaped and settled as time goes by.

Here you have a podcast in different languages, as this matter affects everyone and we want to make it friendly to everyone. Enjoy.
