DOHA, QATAR, 20 Oct. - (ANA) - Israeli spyware firm Candiru infected 45 devices at Al Jazeera through malicious code hidden in ordinary online adverts, needing no clicks from its targets, Citizen Lab researchers found. 

 

The US-blacklisted firm bought the ads through Israeli ad-tech company Discover-Tech, whose network also reached users at the UN and NATO, according to Bloomberg.
