At least 14 Serbians targeted with advanced spyware

Student protesters among those hacked, Share Foundation says, but government denies spying

At least 14 people from across Serbian civil society were targeted with advanced spyware earlier this year, the digital rights group Share Foundation has said.

The wave of spyware infections was discovered in August after Apple notified people in 110 ⁠countries that they had probably been victims ⁠of mercenary spyware. Share said on Wednesday it marked the largest documented ​wave of such infection in Serbia to date.
