Beyond Spyware: Investigating The Deeper Surveillance Ecosystem

5:00pm - 6:15pm on Friday, November 21
KLCC Level 3 - Room 306

About This Session

Top-tier hacking tools like Pegasus and Predator command headlines, but the invasive surveillance market also has a raft of cheaper, more easily scalable tools for monitoring targeted individuals and intercepting their communications, which are often used against dissidents and journalists. In this panel, speakers will share resources and techniques for understanding the surveillance ecosystem, mapping the companies in this space, tracking supply chains, and identifying sanctions evasion schemes.
