WhatsApp said 100 journalists were targeted by spyware.

The company “Vocap” (WhatsApp) announced that almost 100 journalists and members of civil society were targeted by spyware from the Israeli company “Paragon Solutions”. The attack was identified and halted in December last year, and the affected users were notified. The “Graphite” software, similar to “Pegasus”, was used in the attack. “Vocap” has initiated legal action against Paragon, demanding the cessation of the distribution of the spyware, emphasizing the protection of user privacy as a primary responsibility.
