A digital rights group said on Monday that spyware from an Israeli company was used to attack the phone of Belgrade University's rector, Vladan Djokic.
一個數位權利組織週一表示,以色列公司的間諜軟體被用來攻擊貝爾格萊德大學校長弗拉丹·焦基奇的手機。
Djokic played an important role in protests against Serbian populist leader Aleksandar Vucic over the past two years.
焦基奇在近兩年反對塞爾維亞民粹主義領導人亞歷山大·武契奇的抗議中發揮了重要作用。
Serbia will hold a tense election this weekend. Many see it as a showdown between the student protest movement and Vucic.
塞爾維亞本週末將舉行緊張的選舉,外界視之為抗議學生運動與武契奇之間的對決。
Vucic is seeking to extend the 14-year rule of his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party.
武契奇正尋求延長其右翼塞爾維亞進步黨長達14年的統治。
Citizen Lab said it could confirm "with high confidence" that Djokic's phone was infected with Pegasus spyware in 2026.
公民實驗室(Citizen Lab)表示,它可以「高度自信地」確認焦基奇的手機在2026年被飛馬間諜軟體感染。
The group said it carried out the analysis together with the Serbia-based SHARE Foundation.
該組織說,它與總部設在塞爾維亞的SHARE基金會合作進行了分析。
On Instagram, Djokic called this a serious attack on his privacy, his safety and the integrity of his position as rector.
焦基奇在Instagram上稱這是對其隱私、安全和校長職位完整性的嚴重攻擊。
He also called it another attempt at intimidation.

Serbian authorities did not comment immediately, and they have denied involvement in such attacks in the past.
塞爾維亞當局沒有立即發表評論,過去曾否認參與此類攻擊。
Pegasus was developed by the Israeli company NSO Group. It can secretly break into smartphones.
飛馬由以色列公司NSO集團開發,可秘密滲透智慧型手機。
This lets operators read messages, track locations, and turn on microphones and cameras.

Protests broke out in November 2024, after a train station roof collapsed and killed 16 people.
抗議活動於2024年11月爆發,此前一個火車站頂棚坍塌導致16人死亡。
