During a historic meeting, the United Nations Security Council discussed the proliferation of commercial spyware, marking the first time this issue has been formally addressed. The meeting aimed to highlight the threats posed by such software to international peace and security, with the U.S. and 15 other nations advocating for regulatory measures. While some countries supported action, Russia and China dismissed concerns, pointing to broader cyber threats. Experts warned that Europe has become a hub for these spyware companies, further complicating the landscape of cybersecurity and human rights.
