#memorytagging — Public Fediverse posts

In some regions exploits are very broadly deployed on the internet, to target people looking for political activism resources. And journalists, lawyers, and politicians are all regularly targeted by mercenary spyware as well.

The exploit chains used by mercenary spyware are also the same as the ones used by commercial spyware and data hacking kits, like Cellebrite and GrayKey. These tools are often in the hands of low-level law enforcement employees or even outside of government, and are regularly abused.

If these threats could cause you significant harm, this may well be a great reason to upgrade your phone.
