Microsoft rival slam spyware

The other was from a company called Cytrox, which also has Israeli ties. The spyware was uncovered by digital sleuths at the University of Toronto's Citizen Lab, who said two different governments hired the competing mercenaries to hack Nour's phone.

Both instances of malware were simultaneously active on the phone, investigators said after examining its logs. In detailing the Cytrox infection, the researchers said they found the phone of a second Egyptian exile, who asked not to be identified, also hacked with Cytrox's Predator malware. It said it deleted about Facebook and Instagram accounts linked to Cytrox, which appears to operate out of North Macedonia. He scrubbed his LinkedIn page earlier this month to remove mention of his Cytrox affiliation -- though a coffee mug with the company name was in his profile photo.

The business intelligence website Crunchbase says Cytrox was founded in a Tel Aviv suburb in He said the Cytrox malware appears to pull the same tricks as NSO Group's Pegasus product — in particular, turning a smartphone into an eavesdropping device and siphoning out its vital data.

One captured module records all sides of a live conversation, he said. Nour said in an interview from Turkey that he was not surprised by the discovery, as he's sure he has been under Egyptian surveillance for years. Nour said he suspected Egyptian military intelligence in the Cytrox hack.

Competitors of Microsoft accuse the company of squeezing them out by including services such as communication platform Teams and the OneDrive cloud storage system with its software products Word, Excel or Windows. Several companies have also filed complaints against Microsoft with the European Union. In November, a group of European software companies filed a complaint with the EU against the tech company over Windows promotions.

In July , messaging platform Slack also filed a complaint against Microsoft with the EU charging it with unfairly forcing its Teams software on millions of users. Microsoft dodged a bullet over 20 years ago after the Department of Justice and 20 state attorneys general filed antitrust charges against the tech company alleging that it was creating a monopoly.

The company's competitor Netscape had crumbled from the loss of business after Microsoft began giving customers its browser software for free.

While Djokovic has steadfastly refused to explicitly say whether or not he received any shots to protect against the coronavirus, he would not have needed an exemption to enter Australia if he were fully vaccinated. But if it becomes compulsory, I will have to make a decision whether to do it, or not. Djokovic is on the precipice of history, one Grand Slam trophy away from finally overtaking rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal for the most in the history of men's tennis. Entering the season, Federer owned 16 major titles, Nadal nine and Djokovic one.
