Amnesty International reported that Serbian authorities hacked phones of a journalist and an activist using Cellebrite’s tools, enabling spyware installs for extended surveillance.
The report highlights that these instances may be the first forensically documented cases where Cellebrite tools facilitated spy applications, raising serious privacy concerns.
Governments worldwide, including potential actions in the U.S., increasingly use cheaper, rudimentary methods to surveil citizens as sophisticated hacking tools grow expensive.
Experts warn that with major immigration enforcement actions expected, increased spying activities by agencies like ICE may follow the acquisition of hacking capabilities.
