Capítulo #5 - Proteção contra Pegasus

Veja

Todos os anos, governos, agências de aplicação da lei, militares e corporações investem bilhões de dólares na construção e compra de spyware malicioso - software projetado para se infiltrar silenciosamente no dispositivo de um usuário e permitir que invasores visualizem o conteúdo sem detecção.

Esse ano, o Projeto Pegasus revelou que usuários deste tipo de spyware, conhecido como Pegasus e desenvolvido pelo grupo NSO, tiveram como alvo os celulares pertencentes a milhares de pessoas em mais de 50 países, incluindo executivos de negócios, políticos, jornalistas, e ativistas de direitos humanos.

Nesta edição do PrivChat, junte-se a Likhita e Etienne Maynier da Anistia Internacional e John Scott-Railton do Citizen Lab para discutir:

  • What individuals, journalists, activists, and human rights defenders can do to protect themselves against sophisticated spyware?
  • What kind of organizations can we support to help stop this abuse?
  • Who is working on safer, more private software that we can trust?

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