Interview with Stefano Quintarelli – Radio Radicale
Spyware, security and WhatsApp’s role in protecting privacy
In the Radio Radicale interview, Stefano Quintarelli discusses the Paragon case, surveillance software used to spy on criminals and terrorists and withdrawn from the Italian market after allegations of misuse. WhatsApp reported users infected with the spyware, which is capable of taking control of a device simply by opening a PDF file.
Quintarelli raises questions about WhatsApp security, the role of diagnostic data in threat detection, and the possible existence of spare keys for accessing messages. He also highlights the need for clearer regulations to ensure transparency and accountability in the use of information by law enforcement.
