On Nov. 23, Apple announced it is suing a global software developer following a security breach that left its operating systems vulnerable to surveillance. In September, Apple scrambled to issue a protective patch for a reported 1.65 billion devices that were vulnerable to the NSO Group’s notorious Pegasus spyware. How did Apple find out that it had been hacked? Canada’s Citizen Lab sounded the alarm.
Citizen Lab is an interdisciplinary human rights, security and technology research group founded in 2001. Part of the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, examples of the lab’s focus areas include digital espionage, online freedom of expression, app privacy and security, and uses of personal data and surveillance tools.
