In Recent Report, Pegasus Makers Admitted Spyware Misuse for Reasons Unrelated to National Security

News 18  

Barely two weeks before the global expose on the alleged misuse of the spyware, Israel’s NSO Group in a statement had acknowledged that “the customers for Pegasus are states and state agencies” who may be “tempted to limit fundamental freedoms”. The NSO statement prepared on June 30, said NSO Group has 60 customers — states and state agencies — in 40 countries. It noted that there are human rights risks involved and also include potential misuse “for reasons unrelated to national security or law enforcement, such as in support of litigation or to obtain information that may be embarrassing to individuals” or “by unauthorised personnel associated with states and state agencies”. These could include rights associated with the legal and judicial process, such as freedom from arbitrary arrest and detention and similar abuses… as well as invasions of freedom of thought, conscience and religion, restrictions on freedom of movement or participation in civic life,” the NSO Group reportedly said in the statement.
