Media, cell phones of reporters and activists spied on by governments

(ANSA) - NEW YORK, JUL 18 - Several 'authoritarian' governments have used Israeli software to spy on the cell phones of journalists, activists and managers around the world. This is what emerges from the leaks of a survey conducted by the Washington Post and 16 other international reports. The software, sold by the Israeli NSOGroup and called Pegasus, was created to allow governments to pursue terrorists and criminals. Among the governments that have used it to spy there would be - writes the WP - that of VictorOrban. And from the papers it appears that people close to Jamal Khashoggi, the Saudi reporter killed, have also ended up in the crosshairs. (HANDLE).
