Governments around the world have made even more extensive use of commercial spyware from Israel's NSO Group than previously known, according to new reporting in the New Yorker by Ronan Farrow.: Governments are simultaneously employing NSO's Pegasus software while grappling with the impact that it and similar tools can have when used against their interests.The report says that "there is evidence that Pegasus is being used in at least 45 countries.
“The big, dirty secret is that governments are buying this stuff — not just authoritarian governments but all types of governments,” Microsoft executive Cristin Flynn Goodwin tells Farrow.: Pegasus, NSO's flagship product, is used by governments to gain access to the contents of cell phones by exploiting flaws in the devices' operating systems and software.
Apple and Facebook are both suing NSO over its technology, while a number of spying targets have filed suit in courts around the world. NSO's CEO, Shalev Hulio, also apologized for instances where the technology has been misused. "It’s hard for me to live with that and I obviously feel sorry for that.”
