⚡️🚨🇷🇸 NEW - Serbia targeted activists with Pegasus spyware. At least 14 people, including student protesters and opposition figures, were infected.
Citizen Lab confirmed one iPhone was infected with NSO Group’s Pegasus through an iMessage zero-click exploit.
Two NoviSpy infections were also confirmed. One Serbian student's Android phone was confiscated during police questioning. Amnesty International's Security Lab then found a new NoviSpy variant on it, rebuilt specifically to evade detection.
Serbia's intelligence office calls the findings "trivial sensationalism."
What led to these findings, are Apple's threat notifications, sent on Aug. 13, to users in 110 countries, prompting 12 of the Serbian targets to contact SHARE Foundation.
Serbian parliamentary elections are in October.
