The New Yorker:
“When this happens in an authoritarian system, it is horrific but unsurprising,” Seaford, the technology executive who was hacked during Greece’s spyware campaign, told me. “When it happens in a democracy; however, it creates a sense of disorientation: ‘Could this happen to me? Here? Really?!’
There is no government in the world that has a lot of power and doesn’t use it; there are only governments that are masterful in hiding their use of power, either under complete lies or under false pretenses like security, antiterrorism and so on.
