🦄 🚨 Mythical Beasts in the media! 🚨 🦄 The Washington Post's Joseph Menn covered our recent report in his article "Spyware Vendors Thwart Restrictions with New Names and Locations." Our report, "Mythical Beasts and Where to Find Them: Mapping the Global Spyware Market and its Threats to National Security and Human Rights," explores connections between spyware vendors, suppliers, and supply chains in 42 countries. The article digs into details about prior policy efforts made to curb the misuse and proliferation of spyware and points out a key shortcoming of regulation in this space— that agencies often do not compare notes to stop vendors from selling to unscrupulous users. "None of these states has a clear understanding that ‘I am buying from X and they also sell to Y,'” said Trey Herr, Senior Director, Cyber Statecraft Initiative. The article continues to point out a key recommendation "that regulators focus on key people instead of their companies and require more information from companies seeking export licenses."

A recent report by Retail Dive highlights some major security risks facing US retail chains in 2024.
