Episode 137: Predator
What is the spyware predator ?
The Predator is a type of spyware that is capable of infecting a phone and erasing its tracks of the infection process. Once installed, it can watch what's going on with the camera, listen in on the microphone, scrape passwords, read texts, and report the person's location. It is typically delivered through a phishing text message that encourages the recipient to click on a link, triggering a series of exploits on the phone. The Predator spyware is supposedly only sold to intelligence agencies.
What happened with predator and the egyptian journalists?
Predator spyware was found on the phones of an Egyptian politician living in exile and an Egyptian journalist. This led to the suspicion that the Egyptian government might be using this technology to spy on their civil society. The use of the spyware was not to stop terrorists or catch criminals, but seemingly to monitor the stories the journalist was working on, which was considered a misuse of the technology.
How and when was Predator first discovered?
The Predator spyware was found on the phones of three people in Greece's civil society, including a journalist and an opposition leader. However, the specific timeline or details about the initial discovery are not provided.
Which episode should I listen to in order to learn more about this topic?
