Second Italian journalist allegedly targeted with ‘mercenary spyware’

Two Italian journalists exposed for their criticisms of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni were targeted with advanced spyware by Paragon Solutions, a government client. Ciro Pellegrino and his editor-in-chief, Francesco Cancellato, were among six victims in Italy, including activists and NGOs linked to the migrant crisis. The attack appears to be part of ongoing surveillance efforts, despite restrictions on journalists. A parliamentary investigation is now underway into potential violations of Italian law.
