A digital rights organisation said on Monday that spyware from an Israeli company had been used to attack the phone of the rector of the University of Belgrade, who has played an important role in protests against Serbia's populist leader, Aleksandar Vučić, over the past two years.

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的手機,而該校長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。

This Balkan country will hold a tense election this weekend, widely seen as a showdown between the student protest movement and Vučić, who is seeking to extend the 14-year rule of his right-wing Serbian Progressive Party.

這個巴爾幹國家本週末將舉行氣氛緊張的選舉,外界普遍視之為抗議學生運動與武契奇之間的對決,而武契奇正尋求延長其右翼塞爾維亞進步黨長達14年的執政。

In September, a digital rights organisation reported that the phones of at least 14 activists and students had been hacked and infected with spyware, including Pegasus from the NSO Group.

九月,數位權利組織報告指出,至少有14名活動人士與學生的手機遭駭客入侵,並被植入間諜軟體,其中包括NSO集團的飛馬(Pegasus)。

Citizen Lab is an organisation that specialises in forensic analysis of spyware attacks.

公民實驗室(Citizen Lab)是一家專注於間諜軟體攻擊取證分析的組織。

In a statement, the organisation said it could confirm "with a high degree of confidence" that Vladan Djokic's phone was infected with Pegasus spyware in 2026.

該組織在一份聲明中表示,它可以「高度自信地」確認弗拉丹·焦基奇(Vladan Djokic)的手機於2026年被飛馬間諜軟體感染。

The organisation stated that it carried out this analysis in collaboration with the SHARE Foundation, a digital rights organisation also headquartered in Serbia.

該組織表示,其與總部設於塞爾維亞的SHARE基金會(同樣是一個數位權利組織)合作完成了此項分析。

Another analysis is under way to determine whether the mobile phone of Deputy Prosecutor Rade Bajic was also hacked.

另一項分析正在進行,以確認副檢察官拉德·巴伊奇(Rade Bajic)的手機是否也遭到駭客入侵。

Bajic had handled a corruption case involving a real estate project linked to the son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, which was subsequently cancelled.

巴伊奇曾處理一宗涉及美國總統唐納德·川普女婿的房地產項目腐敗案,該項目其後被取消。

In August, Bajic received a threat notification from Apple.

巴伊奇於八月收到蘋果公司發出的威脅通知。

On Instagram, Đokić described the hacking of his phone as "a serious attack on my privacy, my security, and the integrity of the headmaster's office."

焦基奇在Instagram上將手機遭駭客入侵一事形容為「對我的隱私、安全和校長職位完整性的嚴重攻擊」。

He added that it was "yet another attempt at intimidation aimed at obstructing any critical stance or public action."

他並補充說,這是「又一次旨在阻撓任何批評立場與公開行動的恐嚇企圖」。

The Serbian authorities did not immediately comment on the matter.

塞爾維亞當局並未立即就此發表評論。

They had previously denied involvement in such attacks, which were first reported as early as 2024.

他們此前曾否認參與此類攻擊,而相關攻擊最早於2024年即見諸報導。

Pegasus is spyware developed by the Israeli company NSO Group that can covertly infiltrate smartphones, enabling the operator to read messages, track the user's location, and activate the microphone and camera.

飛馬是由以色列公司NSO集團開發的間諜軟體,能暗中滲透智慧型手機,使操作者得以讀取訊息、追蹤用戶位置,並啟動麥克風與攝影機。

The software can be installed through so-called zero-click attacks, without the phone owner having to take any action.

該軟體可透過所謂的零點擊攻擊安裝,無需手機所有者採取任何行動。

The SHARE Foundation stated that without effective investigation and accountability, and without clearly conveying the message that illegal surveillance is unacceptable, "digital repression will continue and spread further, reaching every corner of society and every critical voice, and this poses a serious risk."

SHARE基金會表示,若缺乏有效調查與問責,且未能明確傳達非法監控不可接受的訊息,「數位鎮壓將持續並進一步蔓延,波及社會各個角落和每一個批評聲音,這存在嚴重風險。」

On Sunday, the student movement warned that its meetings were being monitored and accused the authorities of planning to detain some fellow students ahead of a large rally on Thursday.

學生運動於週日警告稱,其會議正遭到監控,並指控當局計劃在週四大型集會前拘留部分同學。

The police have not yet commented.

警方尚未發表評論。

During protests in Serbia, dozens of students were detained on suspicion of engaging in anti-state activities.

在塞爾維亞的抗議活動中,數十名學生因涉嫌從事反國家活動而遭到拘留。

Without any evidence, Vučić has repeatedly claimed that the student protests were organised by foreign forces with the aim of "destroying" the state.

武契奇在缺乏任何證據的情況下多次聲稱,學生的抗議行動是由國外勢力所組織,其目的在於「摧毀」國家。

The protests erupted in November 2024, after the roof canopy of a railway station collapsed, killing 16 people.

抗議活動於2024年11月爆發,此前一座火車站頂棚坍塌,造成16人死亡。

University students are demanding accountability for this tragedy in Novi Sad, which they say was caused by negligence fuelled by corruption in the railway station renovation project.

大學生要求對諾維薩德的這起悲劇追究責任,他們稱這是火車站改造工程中腐敗助長的疏忽所致。

In his capacity as Rector of the University of Belgrade, Đokić supported the protests and refused to comply with the government's ultimatum demanding an end to the students' occupation of faculties in the capital.

焦基奇以貝爾格萊德大學校長的身分支持抗議活動,並拒絕遵從政府要求結束學生在首都封鎖學院的最後通牒。

In March, police raided Đokić's office as part of an investigation into the death of a student.

警方於三月突擊搜查焦基奇的辦公室,以調查一名學生的死亡。

Prosecutor Bajić was removed from her post for speaking publicly about an alleged corruption case linked to a government plan; the plan would turn a bombed-out former military compound into a luxury complex, funded by a company connected to Jared Kushner.

檢察官巴伊奇因公開談論一樁與政府計劃相關的涉嫌腐敗案而遭撤換;該計劃擬將一座被炸毀的前軍事大院改建為豪華綜合體,並由與賈里德·庫什納有關的公司出資。

A government minister and several other defendants in the case are standing trial in Serbia.

一名政府部長及本案其他數名被起訴者正在塞爾維亞接受審判。

The Israeli company NSO says its technology is sold to government agencies for combating serious crime and terrorism.

以色列NSO表示,其技術出售給政府機構用於打擊嚴重犯罪和恐怖主義。

However, investigations documented by journalists and human rights researchers show that the technology has been used against journalists, activists and other members of civil society.

然而,記者和人權研究人員的調查記錄顯示,該技術曾被用於針對記者、活動人士及其他公民社會成員。

In November 2021, the US Department of Commerce added the NSO Group to its trade blacklist on the grounds that "foreign governments use its spyware to target journalists, activists and government officials"; this designation restricted the company's access to American goods and technology.

2021年11月,美國商務部以「外國政府利用其間諜軟體針對記者、活動人士及政府官員」為由,將NSO集團列入貿易黑名單;此一指定限制了該公司取得美國商品與技術的管道。
