Our Story & Mission

From research lab to global security tool

MVT was born from the urgent need to protect civil society from sophisticated digital threats. Developed by the Amnesty International Security Lab, it's now a critical tool for security professionals worldwide.

Our Mission

We believe everyone has the right to digital privacy and security. In a world where sophisticated spyware can turn a smartphone into a surveillance device, we provide the tools to detect these intrusions and restore trust in digital communications. MVT empowers security professionals to investigate, document, and respond to sophisticated cyberattacks targeting civil society.

Uncover the Invisible

Reveal traces of sophisticated spyware that operates silently on compromised devices, helping investigators understand the full scope of an attack.

Protect the Vulnerable

Provide essential security tools for journalists, human rights defenders, and activists who face targeted digital threats in their work.

Seek Accountability

Generate forensic evidence that can be used to document human rights violations and hold perpetrators of surveillance accountable.
