I wonder where the non-NSO offensive companies' products end up going. Like, NSO is absolutely not the only player in this game by a long shot (they're hardly the largest even) and yet they have dozens of Citizenlab pieces on them. Was NSO just particularly shit at writing implants or something and thus they are the only ones getting caught? It's truly bizarre that they leave behind that much forensic evidence.
- case0x00 4y agoMaybe because the initial reporting got so much traffic, Citizenlab pushed far more resources into investigating NSO products? Maybe its political in nature? I can't imagine the reasoning is technical incompetence by NSO (have you read the FORCEDENTRY writeups? its insane). Maybe NSO's clients more haphazardly pursue targets, so there is a higher probability of recovering some forensic evidence?
- sangnoir 4y agoDidn't the NSO also attempt a "sting operation" on Citizenlab? They don't particularly come off as sympathetic and/or competent (politically); especially after targeting American diplomats in Uganda.
