Hoofdstuk #5 - Bescherming tegen Pegasus

Kijk

Elk jaar investeren overheden, wetshandhavingsinstanties, militairen en bedrijven miljarden dollars in het bouwen en kopen van kwaadaardige spyware - software die is ontworpen om stilletjes het apparaat van een gebruiker te infiltreren en aanvallers in staat te stellen de inhoud te bekijken zonder dat dit wordt opgemerkt.

Dit jaar onthulde het Pegasus Project dat gebruikers van dit soort spyware, bekend onder de naam Pegasus en gebouwd door de NSO-groep, de telefoons van duizenden mensen in meer dan 50 landen als doelwit hadden gekozen, waaronder zakenmensen, politici, journalisten en mensenrechtenactivisten.

In deze editie van PrivChat discussiëren Likhita en Etienne Maynier van Amnesty International en John Scott-Railton van Citizen Lab met elkaar:

  • Wat kunnen individuen, journalisten, activisten en mensenrechtenactivisten doen om zichzelf te beschermen tegen geavanceerde spyware?
  • Wat voor organisaties kunnen we steunen om dit misbruik te helpen stoppen?
  • Wie werkt er aan veiligere, meer private software die we kunnen vertrouwen?

Roger Dingledine, Co-Founder of the Tor Project, will join us as our host and moderator.
