Capítulo #5 - Protección contra Pegasus

Observa

Cada año, los gobiernos, las fuerzas del orden, las fuerzas armadas y las corporaciones invierten miles de millones de dólares en la creación y compra de spyware malicioso, software, diseñado para infiltrarse silenciosamente en el dispositivo de un usuario y permitir que los atacantes vean el contenido sin ser detectados.

Este año, el Proyecto Pegasus reveló que los usuarios de este tipo de software espía, conocido como Pegasus y construido por el grupo NSO, habían apuntado a los teléfonos que pertenecen a miles de personas en más de 50 países, incluidos ejecutivos de empresas, políticos, periodistas y activistas de los derechos humanos.

En esta edición dePrivChat, unirse a Likhita y Etienne Maynier de Amnistía Internacional y a John Scott-Railton de Citizen Lab para debatir:

  • ¿Qué pueden hacer los particulares, periodistas, activistas y defensores de los derechos humanos para protegerse de los sofisticados programas espías?
  • ¿Qué tipo de organizaciones podemos apoyar para ayudar a poner fin a estos abusos?
  • ¿Quién está trabajando en un software más seguro y privado en el que podamos confiar?

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