Here is a great weekend read, which I found very interesting:
It is an excellent article by Morgan Meaker at Wired UK, examining the apparent plague of spyware, being discovered on the smartphones of activists, journalists and politicians, across Europe
Spyware Scandals Are Ripping Through Europe | WIRED UK
All of these developers of these spyware products, fall back on a very similar statement when their products are discovered in the wild, something like, “we only sell to authorised governments and law enforcement agencies”. So the obvious question has to be which “authorised governments and law enforcement agencies” are using them on the victims in the article?
