An Italian company's hacking tools were used to spy on Apple and Android smartphones in two countries, Alphabet's Google said in a new report
Milan-based RCS Lab, whose website claims European law enforcement agencies as clients, developed tools to spy on private messages and contacts of the targeted devices, the report said.Google 's findings on RCS Lab come as European and American regulators weigh potential new rules over the sale and import of spyware.
The industry came under a global spotlight when the Israeli surveillance firm NSO's Pegasus spyware was in recent years found to have been used by multiple governments to spy on journalists, activists, and dissidents.While RCS Lab's tool may not be as stealthy as Pegasus, it can still read messages and view passwords, said Bill Marczak, a security researcher with digital watchdog Citizen Lab.
