This terrifying software can infiltrate your smartphone, collect your data and even listen to you... all without your knowledge.

A huge leak in July 2021, revealed 50,000 phone numbers that had been targeted; including president of France Emmanual Macron, and friends of the family of Saudi journalist Jamal Kashoggi in the lead up to his murder in 2018.
