A recent report by Amnesty International has revealed that Serbian authorities have been employing advanced digital surveillance technology, including spyware and forensic extraction tools, to unlawfully monitor journalists and activists. The report, published on December 16, 2024, cites digital forensic evidence and testimonies from affected individuals, indicating that dozens of journalists and activists have had their phones hacked in recent months. Serbian police reportedly utilized Cellebrite technology to unlock devices and install spyware, which has raised significant concerns about privacy violations and the suppression of free speech in the country. The report highlights that both homegrown and Israeli-made spyware have been used in these operations, further complicating the issue of digital rights in Serbia amidst ongoing protests and civil unrest.
