Western intelligence agencies have uncovered a sophisticated spyware campaign, codenamed "CHOSEN BRICK," that appears specifically designed to monitor and compromise critics of the Iranian government operating outside the country. The malware is said to evade detection by leveraging advanced techniques, raising concerns about the scale and precision of digital surveillance against dissidents. Authorities warn that the tool could enable targeted attacks on activists, journalists, and opposition figures, expanding the regime’s reach beyond its borders. Details on how the spyware operates and its potential origins remain under investigation, but experts emphasize the growing threat posed by state-backed cyber tools to global free speech.
