Russian opposition leader Navalny dupes spy into revealing how he was poisoned
I think one of the more interesting tidbits of the investigation is how they managed to find the agents that were following him using black-market mobile phone records from corrupt policemen. These were only available due to a law allowing police to have access to private data, and apparently pretty commonly used by jealous spouses to spy on their SO.<p>A glimpse of the future for those supporting these kinds of laws because they have nothing to hide.<p>EDIT: After watching &#x2F; reading the article and also the comments about parallel construction, there is indeed an inordinate amount of information being just there for the taking.<p>The BBC did a documentary on this intelligence black market some time ago[0], which shows the magnitude of it. I can&#x27;t really imagine how it&#x27;s like living over there, think 4-chan-on-steroids levels of doxxing that can be unleashed by anyone with some petty cash.<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-europe-48348307" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bbc.com&#x2F;news&#x2F;world-europe-48348307</a>
