According to the article, Milan’s local RCS lab had created tools to spy on contacts and private communications targeted at specific devices. The businesses were aiding in the dissemination of harmful hacking tools and equipping nations without the means to produce them.
An inquiry for comment was not answered by the governments of Kazakhstan and Italy. Apple has invalidated all known accounts and certificates connected to the hacking effort, according to a company representative.
The RCS Lab claimed that the business’s goods and services abide by European legislation and facilitate criminal investigations. Google announced that it had taken precautions to safeguard Android users and had forewarned them about the malware known as Hermit. New regulations for the selling and export of spyware are being considered by American and European businesses.
