Pegasus, NoviSpy variant spyware found on devices of Serbian activists

By Tim Starks

AI Summary

Citizen Lab has forensically confirmed the first Pegasus infection of 2026, found alongside a NoviSpy variant on devices belonging to Serbian activists in what the SHARE Foundation describes as the largest wave of spyware surveillance in Serbia to date. The findings indicate continued proliferation of commercial surveillance tools against civil society outside their ostensible law enforcement use cases. Security practitioners working with at-risk communities should audit iOS and Android devices using Amnesty International's MVT tooling.
