"Pegasus raises questions over Polish elections," says head of team that uncovered hack

Update: 2022-01-23

Description

This week, Notes from Poland editor-at-large Stanley Bill talks with John Scott-Railton, senior researcher at Toronto-based Citizen Lab, whose work has recently uncovered the use of spyware to hack the phones of individuals connected with Poland’s opposition.

They discuss the details of Citizen Lab's key findings, how the team does its work, and what it might mean for Polish democracy and the fairness of elections.

Also check out our previous podcast about the migrant crisis on Poland's border with Belarus.
