Citizen Lab: spyware de clique zero se espalhava por anúncios online

–

Resumo neutro

O Citizen Lab, da Universidade de Toronto, em parceria com a Confiant, empresa de segurança de anúncios digitais com sede em Nova York, publicou relatórios em 15 de outubro fornecendo as primeiras evidências técnicas de spyware mercenário sendo entregue por meio de publicidade online. De acordo com as descobertas, a empresa israelense Discover-Tech, que se apresentava como uma agência de publicidade legítima, ajudou secretamente desenvolvedores de spyware, incluindo a Candiru — uma empresa incluída na lista negra do governo dos EUA — a colocar anúncios maliciosos dentro de plataformas de publicidade operadas por Google, Comcast, Yandex da Rússia e outras. Os ataques, apelidados de AdFection, exploravam vulnerabilidades para infectar dispositivos quando os usuários simplesmente visualizavam um site ou usavam um aplicativo. Os pesquisadores descobriram que pelo menos 45 dispositivos pertencentes a funcionários da Al Jazeera foram alvo em 2024 e 2025. Anúncios ligados à operação apareceram em sites da União Europeia, da OTAN e do Pentágono, e a escala da operação pode ter alcançado centenas de milhões de usuários da internet. O Comitê para a Proteção dos Jornalistas pediu que as autoridades israelenses e outras investigassem e responsabilizassem os culpados.
