Serbian police used Cellebrite to unlock, then plant spyware on, a journalist’s phone

Amnesty International and TechCrunch report that Serbian authorities used Cellebrite phone-unlocking tools to covertly install an Android spyware named NoviSpy on journalists and activists; forensic analysis links the malware to the Serbian Security Information Agency (BIA) via infrastructure (notably IP 195.178.51.251) and reveals use of a Qualcomm zero-day, suggesting a systematic, state-driven surveillance campaign against civil society.
