Capitolo 5 - Protezione contro Pegasus

Guarda

Ogni anno i governi, le forze dell'ordine, le forze armate e le aziende investono miliardi di dollari nella creazione e nell'acquisto di spyware dannosi, software progettati per infiltrarsi silenziosamente nel dispositivo dell'utente e consentire agli aggressori di visualizzarne il contenuto senza essere scoperti.

Quest'anno, il Progetto Pegasus ha rivelato che gli utenti di questo tipo di spyware, noto come Pegasus e costruito dal gruppo NSO, hanno preso di mira i telefoni di migliaia di persone in più di 50 Paesi, tra cui dirigenti d'azienda, politici, giornalisti e attivisti per i diritti umani.

In questa edizione di PrivChat, unitevi a Likhita ed Etienne Maynier di Amnesty International e a John Scott-Railton di Citizen Lab per discutere:

  • Cosa possono fare individui, giornalisti, attivisti e difensori dei diritti umani per proteggersi da spyware sofisticati?
  • Che tipo di organizzazioni possiamo sostenere per contribuire a fermare questo abuso?
  • Chi sta lavorando a un software più sicuro e privato di cui possiamo fidarci?

Roger Dingledine, Co-Founder of the Tor Project, will join us as our host and moderator.
