Spyware Surge: Google Exposes the Booming Business of Digital Espionage
In a digital game of cat and mouse, Google’s “Buying Spying” report exposes a booming spyware industry. With 40 vendors vying for the shadiest spotlight, half of the zero-days in Google’s realm are their doing. Forget Pegasus, the real Trojan horse is commercial spyware.

Hot Take:
Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to... spy on everyone? The spyware industry is booming like it's got its own Silicon Valley, with CSVs popping up like mushrooms after a rain. They're not just selling spyware; they're running a full-service surveillance Costco, and they've got zero-day vulnerabilities on a buy-one-get-one-free special. Google's giving us the lowdown, but will it change the game for these digital peeping Toms? Doubtful. Cue the James Bond theme song with a hint of malevolent laughter in the background.
