The Citizen Lab's research outputs have made global news headlines around the world, including front page exclusives in "The New York Times", "The Washington Post", and "The Globe and Mail". In "Tracking GhostNet" (2009), researchers uncovered a suspected cyber espionage network of over 1,295 infected hosts in 103 countries, a high percentage of which were high-value targets, including ministries of foreign affairs, embassies, international organizations, news media, and NGOs. This seminal study was one of the first public reports to reveal a cyber espionage network that targeted civil society and government systems around the world. In "Shadows in the Cloud" (2010), researchers documented a complex ecosystem of cyber espionage that systematically compromised government, business, academic, and other computer network systems in India, the offices of the Dalai Lama, the United Nations, and several other countries. In "Million Dollar Dissident", published in August 2016, researchers discovered that Ahmed Mansoor, one of the UAE Five, a human rights defender in the United Arab Emirates, was targeted with software developed by Israeli "cyber war" company NSO Group. Using a chain of zero-day exploits, operators of this spyware attempted to get Mansoor to click on a link in a socially engineered text message that would have given them access to everything in his phone. Prior to the releases of the report, researchers contacted Apple who released a security update that patched the vulnerabilities exploited by the spyware operators.
