💨 Abstract

Italy's government announced that seven mobile phone users, including a journalist and a migrant rescue activist, were targeted by spyware on Meta Platforms' WhatsApp messaging service. The Italian prime minister's office requested a probe by the National Cybersecurity Agency and stated that the spyware was found among WhatsApp users in several European Union countries. Meta accused surveillance company Paragon Solutions of attempting to steal data from users using a "zero click" hack.
