RT @jsrailton: 3/ @MsftSecIntel #QuaDream shared samples w/ us @citizenlab. We developed forensic techniques to identify the spyware on iOS devices.

In the binaries we found a fully featured implant that cleans up its own traces.

And we found evidence of suspected zero click exploits...

Israeli spyware used to hack across 10 countries, Microsoft and watchdog say

http://reut.rs/3zRC1KI

Another Israeli spyware company has been exposed and they've been using a seriously sneaky trick to infect Apple phones.

They'd send an infected iCloud calendar invitation to users, set for a date in the past. This made them invisible to targeted users -- primarily journalists & government clients.

Reign-infected phones give full access to their mic & recorder, messages on encrypted apps, phone conversations & track locations.

8/ Our @citizenlab report has a dive into what we know about #QuaDream & InReach, and the various personalities involved.

Commercial #spyware companies try hard to operate in the shadows.

Pulling back the corporate curtain is a key part of the accountability process.

2/ #QuaDream keeps a low profile & avoids the limelight, unlike it's competitor NSO Group (of #Pegasus notoriety).

But it's had some brushes with attention, including about deals & pitches.

And after being called out by @Meta for testing on their platforms.

Citizens Lab and Microsoft have exposed an Israeli firm, #QuaDream, selling spyware; one of its exploits allowed hacking iPhones using malicious calendar invites.
