Amnesty International exposes Serbian police’s use of spyware on journalists, activists

Law enforcement in Serbia has been upping their game when it comes to catching criminals. They’ve started using some pretty high-tech tools like what Cellebrite offers, which is similar to having a super smart detective that can sift through all the digital clues left behind on electronic devices. But that’s not all – they’re also using a new kind of spyware that’s specially designed to focus on Android smartphones.

So, what’s spyware, you ask? Imagine someone could secretly watch everything you do on your phone without you even knowing – that’s spyware for you. And it turns out, Serbian police haven’t just been using it to look out for bad guys; a recent report revealed that they’ve also been watching what journalists and activists are doing on their phones. It’s like having someone peeking over your shoulder all the time, only you can’t see them.

This news made a lot of people sit up and take notice because journalists and activists are the ones who often share important information with the public and stand up for what’s right. People are worried because if the police are watching them without proper reasons, that could mess with everyone’s privacy and free speech.

Many folks are talking about whether this is okay and what should be done about it. For more details on the report and how it all works, you can check out the full story here: cyberscoop.com/amnesty-international-exposes-serbian-polices-use-of-spyware-on-journalists-activists/.
