Dozens of Thai democracy activists targeted with Pegasus phone spyware
Thai government suspected of orchestrating hacking campaign using Israeli surveillance technology
The Thai government is suspected of using Israeli surveillance technology against more than two dozen dissidents and activists who supported democratic reforms, in what experts said was part of a wide-ranging campaign to try to shut down criticism using one of the most advanced spying tools in the world.
A report by researchers at Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto paints a devastating picture of the pervasive use of NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware in 2020 and 2021 against pro-democracy protesters, including many who have repeatedly faced arrest, harassment and physical attacks by Thai authorities. The Citizen Lab’s forensic analysis, which was peer-reviewed by experts at Amnesty International’s security lab, also raises questions about statements made by Thai government officials, who last year said reports of state-sponsored attacks were “untrue”.
