Citizen Lab reports how targeted advertising was used in a spyware operation
Citizen Lab’s 15 October AdFection report investigates an operation in which targeted advertising was allegedly used to deliver spyware. The researchers describe Discover Tech’s role and connect their findings to Candiru spyware, including cases involving Al Jazeera personnel. These are findings attributed to the research team, not a judicial determination or evidence that every advertising platform behaves this way.
