This is shocking. Scholars of cyber surveillance at the @citizenlab were targeted by undercover agents. Their research shed light on the Khashoggi incident. I'm glad they were wary & had the diligence to protect themselves. @RonDeiberthttps://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-undercover-agents-target-toronto-based-cybersecurity-watchdog-citizen/ …
