Russia appears to be targeting journalists with spyware known as Pegasus.
-
Pegasus is a "zero-click" software, hacking phones by sending texts that don't need to be opened.
-
The software has targeted dozens of journalists, activists, and politicians in recent years.
You're viewing a single thread.
Pegasus is an Israeli product, are they selling it to Russia?
Why not? Do you think US donations come with conditions?
Yeah either something else is involved here or Israel is indeed selling Pegasus to literally any government that requests it. Let's not forget that NSO group is state funded so those deals clearly do have the approval from the Israeli government.
Nothing to worry folks, here's what NSO said when it was used to target Khashoggi's inner circle as he was murdered and dismembered in the Saudi consulate:
NSO denies any wrongdoing. It says the software is intended for use against criminals and terrorists and is made available only to military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies from countries with good human rights records
Israel doesn't even have a good human rights record
Thats their loophole: "We evaluated the human rights situation in that country and concluded that it is on par with our own" or something like that.
One of the key reasons for Israel's reluctance to help Ukraine win the war militarily is simple: It still works closely with Russia.
Russia is important for Israel's military operations in neighboring Syria, where Israel has been carrying out airstrikes against Iran-backed militias, mainly those of Hezbollah.
Does this mention Pegasus at all?
