An Israeli company is reported to be using digital advertising as a delivery channel for 'zero-click' spyware, meaning devices can be infected without any user interaction such as clicking a link. The story is being discussed on Hacker News, where commenters are debating how the ad-based infection method works and what it means for mobile security and surveillance.
Why now: Claims that ordinary online ads can install spyware with no user action raise fresh concerns about commercial surveillance tools.
