Description

Citizen Lab, a human rights watchdog, tracks governments who do bad things online, and learned that slain journalist Jamal Khashoggi's phone was bugged.

They surmised that they were being spied on, and so they decided to turn the tables—and an Associated Press reporter was along for the ride.
