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.

When I saw those pictures yesterday, and everyone talked of a protester, I was already thinking "no, he has a white shirt, that's a street medic here", but no one was saying anything...
No one said anything because he WAS a street medic, and that's his CORPSE.
I'm so sick rn

Every single right you have now you owe to people who were considered needlessly violent.

Most people in France can't afford housing.
They didn't blame immigrants, or transgender people, or video games, or avocado toast.
They blame the government. Because that's who's responsible. That's always who's responsible.

Seeing tourists complain about the protests in France and Italy because it's "ruining their vacation" sickens me. People are being brutalized by police. Italy's fascist government is censoring the voices of protestors. And all you can think about is your stupid vacation.
