For a long time, dissident Saudis wondered how exactly government security forces had unmasked their friends and family members, and whether there were any countermeasures they could take. They assumed the Saudi government had access to the finest western security contractors and advanced spyware software. They didn't yet know that Prince Mohammed and his henchmen had something better: a spy ring inside Twitter itself…
