Exclusive: RSF uncovers new spyware from Belarus

Reporters Without Borders (RSF)’s Digital Security Lab (DSL), working with the Eastern European organisation RESIDENT.NGO, has uncovered a previously unknown spyware tool used by the State Security Committee (KGB) of Belarus to target, among others, journalists and media workers. RSF assesses that this exposure is a serious setback for the KGB’s operations, not least because the software appears to have been in use for several years.
