Israeli ad-tech firm helped place spyware on Al Jazeera devices

"Israeli advertising technology company Discover-Tech helped place spyware on dozens of devices used by Al Jazeera and other companies.

Al Jazeera Media Network on Thursday said it “condemns the spyware attacks targeting a number of its staff” and pledged to continue to “protect its employees and systems”.

The network said targeting journalists is an “assault on press freedom” and called for those responsible to be held accountable.

A Citizen Lab investigation, prompted by Al Jazeera’s initial internal probe into the issue, has confirmed that spyware from Candiru, an Israeli spyware firm blacklisted by the United States government in 2021 for its malicious cyber activities, was planted on these devices, using the first-known instance of “zero-click” targeted advertising.

The nature of installing this spyware means that once an infected advertisement appears on a device, that device, too, is infected – spying on, and feeding, all the data and information available on that platform to those stealing it."
