Vietnam Linked To Spy Campaign Using EU-made Malware

Vietnamese agents may be responsible for a global spyware campaign using EU-made malware to target officials, journalists, and civil society, according to Amnesty International. The malware, named Predator, controls the phone’s camera and microphone, turning it into a spying device. The malware was sold to someone at the Vietnamese Ministry of Public Security for $5.9 million in 2020.
