SPYWARE CAN INFECT YOUR DEVICES FROM THE ADS YOU SEE ONLINE

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Israeli tech firm Insanet has developed spyware capable of being delivered through online ad networks and infecting Windows-based computers and Android phones as well as iPhones. The "Sherlock'' spyware's deployment has raised concerns due to its ability to clandestinely infiltrate devices, monitor activities, and collect sensitive information. The Israeli government has approved its sale, which potentially puts many at risk.
