## Resource

Spyware Targeting Journalists and Activists: Big Tech Fights Back - Spyware, like Paragon Solutions Graphite, is infiltrating phones of journalists and activists, recording calls, reading messages, and tracking locations. Apple, Google, and Meta are countering with security features like Lockdown Mode, Advanced Protection Program, and Strict Account Settings. These tools, though limiting some functions, offer robust protection against spyware, making them a small price to pay for digital security.
