Im not sure why this isn't a bigger cyber security story- are we all compromised?
An ad appears on your screen.
You don't click it.
Doesn't matter.
Spyware is already inside your device.
Citizen Lab just published the first documented proof.
Called it AdFection.
An Israeli ad-tech company called Discover-Tech ran the operation.
Controlium is their platform.
Here's how it works.
Ad network profiles you. Uses your advertising ID. Your IP address. Your cookies.
Builds a fingerprint.
Then Controlium serves a targeted ad.
The moment the ad loads. Not clicked. Just rendered.
The device makes a connection to Discover-Tech servers.
Which immediately connects to Candiru spyware servers.
Exploit fires. Spyware installs. You never knew the ad existed.
Al Jazeera was the confirmed target.
45 journalist devices. Infected between 2024 and 2025.
Controlium had a list of IP addresses and ad IDs that matched their staff.
Served them invisible ads.
Which delivered invisible spyware.
Discover-Tech's ads appeared on 120,000 websites.
75,000 apps.
10 million impressions per day.
Across 161 countries.
Reaching NATO. The UN. EU institutions. US Department of Defense.
All potential targets.
Google certified Discover-Tech for six years.
Listed them as an approved vendor.
Didn't catch anything.
Only cut ties after Citizen Lab published.

The ad network was the spyware delivery system.
No one was monitoring it because ad networks aren't supposed to do this.
So no one thought to look.

To whom it may concern: today, 75 innocent people recovered from beneath the rubble, where they had lain for a year and a half—were laid to rest.

Pep GUARDIOLA 🇪🇸 livre un PUISSANT MESSAGE en soutien à la PALESTINE 🇵🇸 👇❤️🩹 :
🗣️ « Ce ne sont pas des morts, ce sont des personnes ASSASSINÉES. Ce ne sont pas des chiffres, ce sont des VIES qui avaient un nom, un visage, une famille, des rêves et des souvenirs.
Ce ne sont pas des dommages collatéraux, ce sont des ENFANTS.
Nous voyons des enfants à Gaza chercher leurs parents sous les décombres, demander de l’aide, souffrir de la faim, se retrouver seuls. Nous les voyons TOUT PERDRE avant même d’avoir pu grandir.
La solidarité avec la Palestine NE PEUT PAS PRENDRE DE PAUSE. Notre responsabilité non plus.
Aucun enfant ne devrait grandir en apprenant à SURVIVRE avant d’apprendre à VIVRE.
NOUS NE NOUS TAIRONS PAS. Le silence aujourd’hui est une manière de prendre parti. Nous ne pouvons pas détourner le regard.
La Palestine compte et la Palestine a besoin de justice et de paix. Continuez à parler de la Palestine. Continuez à défendre l’humanité face à l’indifférence. »
🎥 @UNRWAes

honestly, what stands out to me is how much zelda is willing to lean into darker fantasy aesthetics now.
10+ years ago this would've looked completely out of place in the series.
