Citizen Lab: Israeli adtech firm Discover-Tech delivered Candiru spyware via no-click ads

Citizen Lab reports that Israeli adtech firm Discover-Tech facilitated the delivery of Candiru spyware through targeted online ads, exploiting vulnerabilities to infect devices without user interaction. This marks a novel distribution method for commercial spyware, raising concerns about the proliferation of zero-click exploits and the role of adtech intermediaries. The claim is based on Citizen Lab's investigation, with limited independent corroboration.
