Researchers say Thai pro-democracy activists hit by spyware

Summary by Ground News

Cybersecurity researchers say that Thai activists involved in pro-democracy protests in 2020 and 2021 had their cell phones or other devices infected and attacked with spyware. At least 30 individuals were targeted for surveillance with Pegasus, a spyware application produced by the Israel-based cybersecurity company NSO Group. Those affected included activists, scholars, and people working with civil society groups. The Pegasus spyware is known for "zero-click exploits," which means it can be installed remotely onto a target's phone.
