Companies like NSO can’t sell products to non-governmental actors: Israeli envoy
The HinduCompanies like NSO can’t sell their products to non-governmental actors, newly-appointed Israeli Ambassador to India Naor Gilon said on October 28, while terming as an “internal thing” for New Delhi the row over spyware Pegasus. His comments at a press conference came following questions over allegations of unauthorised surveillance using Israeli NSO Group’s spyware Pegasus and whether the Indian government contacted Israel over the issue. An international investigative consortium had claimed that many Indian ministers, politicians, activists, businessmen and journalists were potentially targeted by the NSO Group’s phone hacking software. The Supreme Court has set up a three-member independent expert panel to probe the alleged use of Pegasus for targeted surveillance in India, observing the state cannot get a “free pass” every time the spectre of national security is raised and that its mere invocation cannot render the judiciary a “mute spectator” and be the bugbear it shies away from.
