⁠The Return of Candiru

On 21 July, cybersecurity company Avast reported that the Israeli spyware company, Candiru, was behind the DevilsTongue malware that has targeted dozens of journalists in Lebanon, Turkey, Yemen, and Palestine.

The exploit runs on Chromium (Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge) via a memory corruption bug on WebRTC, an API protocol for browsers. It was patched by Google on 4 ⁠July 2022.
