There is evidence suggesting that Canadian provincial police are using powerful advanced commercial spyware, the Citizen Lab said in a report released Wednesday. The internet protocol address of a spyware customer detected by the Citizen Lab matches that of the general headquarters for the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), the University of Toronto-based research organization says in the report. The vendor, Paragon Solutions, makes the powerful commercial spyware Graphite. In January, Meta said it discovered Graphite targeting and sometimes infecting devices belonging to more than 90 users of its subsidiary WhatsApp messaging platform.
