Massive demonstrations engulfed Thailand's capital Bangkok two years ago as thousands called for greater civil freedoms and a loosening of the strict lese-majeste laws that prevent any criticism of the monarchy.
The Canadian cybersecurity watchdog Citizen Lab report, in partnership with Thai groups iLaw and DigitalReach, identified some 30 activists, academics, lawyers and NGO workers - mostly connected to civil rights organizations - whose mobile devices were affected.
The report stops short of saying definitively who was behind the use of the spyware, though it notes that NSO Group says they only sell the technology to governments.
