Israeli ad agency used online ads to hack and spy on users
Original: Israeli digital advertising agency used online ads to hack devices, spy on users
An Israeli digital advertising agency reportedly used online ads to hack into people's devices and spy on them, according to a report by The Jerusalem Post. The case raises fresh concerns about spyware and surveillance being carried out through commercial channels rather than state operations alone, and about the security risks posed by everyday online advertising.
Why now: Fresh reporting on a commercial firm allegedly weaponising online ads for hacking and surveillance is drawing attention to spyware abuse.
