The group, known for its sophisticated cyberespionage tactics, allegedly placed surveillance software on mobile devices to record calls, steal texts, and activate cameras and microphones. Meta's investigators linked this activity to a network posing as tech support agents for major companies like Microsoft and Google, and warned US presidential campaigns after discovering malicious activity on the WhatsApp messaging service. The hackers also targeted Utah's geological data, oil, gas, and other resources, according to a state law enforcement notice.
