‘Zero-click’ hacks are growing in popularity. There’s practically no way to stop them.

Once the preserve of a few intelligence agencies, the technology for zero-click hacks is now being sold to governments by a few companies, the most prominent of which is Israel’s NSO Group.

A Polish Senate commission heard the testimony of two cybersecurity experts, John Scott-Railton and Bill Marczak, senior researchers with the Citizen Lab, a research group based at the University of Toronto, in Warsaw, Poland, on Monday, Jan. 17, 2022. The researchers confirmed last month that three Polish critics of the right-wing government were hacked aggressively with Pegasus, spyware produced by Israel's NSO Group. The Senate commission seeks to shed more light on the hacking, which has shocked many in Poland. (AP Photo/Czarek Sokolowski)
