ST Print edition omits SG Gov't was surveillance company's customer

ST print edition omits a few paragraphs from a Reuters report which included the fact that the Singapore Government may have been one of the early customers of Quadream, an Israeli surveillance company.An exclusive article published by Reuters on 4th February said that a flaw in Apple’s software was exploited by an Israeli surveillance firm NSO Group to break into iPhones in 2021.

Bill Marczak, a security researcher with digital watchdog Citizen Lab who has been studying both companies’ hacking tools, told Reuters that QuaDream’s zero-click capability seemed “on par” with NSO’s. So similar were the two versions of ForcedEntry that when Apple fixed the underlying flaws in September 2021 it rendered both NSO and QuaDream`s spy software ineffective, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The Straits Times republished the report by Reuters on 5 February 2022. But the ST print edition was slightly different from its online version.
