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

一个数字权利组织周一表示,一家以色列公司的间谍软件被用于针对贝尔格莱德大学校长的手机,而这位校长在近两年反对塞尔维亚民粹主义领导人亚历山大·武契奇的抗议活动中发挥了重要作用。

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

这个巴尔干国家本周末将举行一场气氛紧张的选举,此次选举被视为抗议学生运动与武契奇之间的对决,而武契奇正寻求将其右翼塞尔维亚进步党长达14年的统治再延长下去。

In September this year, digital rights organisations revealed that the phones of at least 14 activists and students had been hacked and implanted with spyware, including Pegasus from the NSO Group.

今年9月,数字权利组织披露,至少有14名活动人士及学生的手机遭到黑客入侵并被植入间谍软件,其中涉及NSO集团的Pegasus。

In a statement, the Citizen Lab, an organisation that conducts forensic analysis of spyware attacks, said it was able to confirm "with a high degree of confidence" that Vladan Jokic's phone was infected with Pegasus spyware in 2026.

从事间谍软件攻击取证分析的Citizen Lab组织在一份声明中称,其能够“高度确信地”证实,弗拉丹·焦基奇的手机于2026年被Pegasus间谍软件感染。

The organization said it carried out the analysis in partnership with the SHARE Foundation in Serbia, which is likewise a digital rights organization.

该组织表示,其与同样身为数字权利组织的塞尔维亚SHARE基金会合作开展了这项分析。

Another analysis is under way to determine whether the phone of Deputy Prosecutor Rade Bajić was likewise hacked.

另一项分析正在进行中,以确定副检察官拉德·巴伊奇的手机是否同样遭到黑客攻击。

Bajić had been handling a suspected corruption case involving a real estate project linked to US President Donald Trump's son-in-law, which was later cancelled.

巴伊奇曾负责处理一起涉嫌腐败的案件,该案涉及一个与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普女婿有关联的房地产项目,该项目后来被取消。

In August this year, Bajić received a threat notification from Apple sent to his phone.

今年8月,巴伊奇收到苹果公司发送至其手机的威胁通知。

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

焦基奇在Instagram上将手机遭黑客攻击一事描述为“对我隐私、安全和校长职位完整性的严重攻击”。

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

他补充说,这是“又一次恐吓企图,旨在阻止任何批评立场和公共行动”。

The Serbian authorities did not immediately comment on the matter.

塞尔维亚当局未立即就此置评。

They had previously denied being behind such attacks, which were first reported in 2024.

他们此前曾否认自身是此类攻击的幕后黑手,而这些攻击最早于2024年被报道。

Pegasus is spyware developed by the Israeli company NSO Group that can covertly infiltrate smartphones, enabling operators to read messages, track users' locations, and activate microphones and cameras.

Pegasus是一款由以色列公司NSO集团开发的间谍软件,能够秘密渗透智能手机,使操作者得以读取信息、追踪用户位置,并激活麦克风和摄像头。

The software can be installed through so-called "zero-click" attacks, without requiring any action on the part of the phone's owner.

该软件可通过所谓的“零点击”攻击安装,无需手机所有者采取任何操作。

The SHARE Foundation stated that if investigations and accountability fail to proceed effectively, and if the message that illegal surveillance is unacceptable is not conveyed, "digital repression will continue and spread further, reaching every corner of society and every critical voice, posing a serious risk."

SHARE基金会表示,若调查与问责无法有效开展,且未能传达非法监控不可接受这一信息,“数字镇压将继续并进一步蔓延,波及社会各个角落和每一个批评声音,存在严重风险。”

The student movement warned on Sunday that its meetings were being monitored, and claimed that the authorities planned to detain some of their associates before a large rally on Thursday.

学生运动于周日警告称,其会议正遭到监控,并声称当局计划在周四举行大型集会之前拘留他们的一些同伙。

The police have not yet commented on this.

警方尚未对此置评。

Numerous students in Serbia were detained during the protests on suspicion of engaging in anti-state activities.

塞尔维亚众多学生在抗议期间因涉嫌从事反国家活动而遭到拘留。

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

武契奇在未提供任何证据的情况下屡次声称,学生抗议系由国外势力组织,其目的在于“摧毁”这个国家。

The protests erupted in November 2024, triggered by the collapse of a railway station roof, an accident that claimed 16 lives.

抗议活动于2024年11月爆发,其导火索是一个火车站顶棚坍塌事故,该事故造成16人丧生。

University students are demanding accountability for the tragedy in Novi Sad, which they say was caused by negligence fuelled by corruption during the station's renovation works.

大学生们要求对诺维萨德这场悲剧追究责任,他们称这场悲剧是火车站翻修工程期间腐败助长的疏忽所造成的。

As the Rector of the University of Belgrade, Đokić supported the protests in question and withstood pressure from the government to put an end to the student blockades at faculties across the capital.

作为贝尔格莱德大学校长,焦基奇对相关抗议活动予以支持,并顶住了政府要求其终止首都各院系学生封锁行动的压力。

In March, the police raided Đokić's office, claiming that they were investigating the death of a student.

警方于3月突袭了焦基奇的办公室,声称正在就一名学生的死亡事件展开调查。

Prosecutor Bajić was replaced after publicly discussing corruption related to the government's plan to convert a bombed former military compound into a luxury complex, which is funded by a company linked to Jared Kushner.

检察官巴伊奇曾公开谈论政府计划将遭轰炸的前军事大院改造成豪华综合体一事所涉腐败,随后遭到替换;该综合体由一家与贾里德·库什纳有关联的公司资助。

A government minister and several other individuals indicted in this case are currently standing trial in Serbia.

一名政府部长及其他几名在此案中被起诉的人正在塞尔维亚受审。

The Israeli company NSO claims that its technology is sold to government agencies for use in combating serious crime and terrorism.

以色列NSO声称,其技术系出售给政府机构,用于打击严重犯罪与恐怖主义。

However, investigations by journalists and human rights researchers have documented cases in which the technology was used against journalists, activists and other members of civil society.

然而,记者及人权研究人员的调查却记录了该技术被用于针对记者、活动人士及其他公民社会成员的情形。

In November 2021, the US Department of Commerce added the NSO Group to its trade blacklist, citing evidence that foreign governments had used the company's spyware to target journalists, activists and government officials.

2021年11月,美国商务部将NSO集团列入贸易黑名单,理由是有证据表明外国政府利用该公司的间谍软件针对记者、活动人士和政府官员。

This designation restricted the company's ability to obtain American goods and technology.

这一认定限制了该公司获取美国商品和技术的能力。
