headlines these continues off the al jazeera world. ah ah . ah. in mid 2020, a mobile phone belonging to al jazeera arabic was hacked over the next few months, working with an organization called citizen lap. the team from al jazeera, unpacked an extraordinary story of some of the most advanced spyware in the world. and how it's used, not least on al jazeera, as journalists with a click of a button. you can bring down nations to their news very rapidly if you so desire. and if you're willing to take the roof, because every system can be israel, manufacturers, pegasus, some of the most advanced spyware in the world. it 1st came to attention in 2016. since then, various governments have bought the spyware for their own use. questions today? ah, how does pegasus work? who is using it? and who are it's victims? well, there's very little in the actual detail behind pegasus is spyware. the code, the malicious code that was used, that's very, very difficult to find out more about how thought was all at the fair. les leslie in live in a kennel model food because of, of had he felt with it. let me go live at one. and them i can use, i'm heather mold. what canal doesn't song of old? what have i only in know you're about for men. a lot of them could the solidify you for be 30 here, the saudi men, and had the follow with odyssey or arabic, investigative reporter, time at all, miss ha, followed a complicated technical process to track this infamous spyware. over many months, he had one of his own phones, monitored constantly with the help of citizen lab and an international research laboratory based in canada, that specializes in data surveillance citizen la, who's the 1st to expose the existence of israel's pegasus spyware. in 2016, they disclose details of what they called an exploit infrastructure. connected to a phone belonging to an activist from the united arab emirates, the infiltration, the hack, led to the rest of our madman. sewer remains in prison to this day. the new hacking technique was called a 0 day exploits. and pegasus was, the spyware used to infiltrate monsoons formed bill ma sac from citizen lap, has worked for several years to expose pegasus. so what happened in 2016 started with this man. i madman sort of the activist in the u. e. and he noticed some suspicious messages on his phone that he was getting via as a mess. he thought they were weird because they came from unknown numbers and they were promising information about human rights. so he forwarded them to me at citizen lab, we had known each other for a while. i got a burner phone, not obviously my, my real phone, a burner phone and clicked on the links. and while i was doing this, i was recording the internet traffic and recording the activity on the phone and what was installed. when i clicked the link was a very sophisticated spyware payload. and the interesting question was, but who could be behind this? who might have programmed the spyware who might have sold it, who might be using it, and the process to figure that out is called attribution. so what we did in the report is we noticed that when you clicked on the link a 2nd time, it wouldn't cause the infection. it was only limited to the 1st click and the 2nd click would send you to a decoy website to try and make it look innocuous or benign. so we clicked on the 2nd time we got redirected to google, but it wasn't just any redirects to google. it was a very specific piece of code that someone had sat down and written on their computer. so we figured, well, maybe this is part of this spyware somehow. and if we can scan the internet, we can find other servers that had the same weird redirect to google. so this is exactly what we did. we use the popular open source v map program. we scan the internet and found 149 other servers, and this is where it gets interesting because this 2nd redirect to google was also returned by 3 servers. and s o q a dot com q a n q a dot com, and mail one dot and s o group dot com and the name here and a so group we found in a brochure. and these really government's website. they had a brochure for this company, and a so group, which is based in israel and sells a product called pegasus, which is spyware, for mobile phones. in the case of pegasus citizen lab did very good work and was very, very conclusively able to say that pegasus had been written by and over it. but it's actually stream li, rare that we're able to get that sort of concrete attribution and say this malware was written by this company. the n s o group is a technology company based in hatch layer in israel founded in 2010. it employs over 500 cybersecurity experts, package, the spyware is viewed as its most important product use. israel is one of the most sophisticated cyber actors in the world. and i think that a lot of this is because the israeli army is training for people to do this sort of offensive hacking for you know, in, in their military service. more of them allow me lean. he how he a shotuko tom harry ju min wish that they are coming to left within where where should the hostile a where the the way as as you than the hill. alyssa, what out alaska really slightly. yeah. aluminum off the bottom. we're living the custom. well, we'll do, i, the a should occur to the morocco about a little hava to it was out of a default. what i'll call only leslie are in are so, which is call unit a $200.00. it's pretty rude. we allow them to great companies and, and order for the companies to develop their need to make. what do they need to make money? they need to make money. tom at almost hong spoke to william benny, who for over 30 years, worked with the us national security agency, a former cryptographers and later a whistleblower chrome. benny was the essays, technical leader of intelligence. benny has a high level understanding of the agencies data collection systems. what that means is, any i phone or any phone in the world, 1st connecting to the network, when you want to use it, you're immediately known worldwide. i mean, all the switches have you and they capture your i p as in all on your phone and at mac numbers and all that. that's how they bill you. so that also is the known by the network in the implants, computer network exploitation implants, they have around the world over this was in 2004 under 2010, somewhere in that range. they had over 50000 implants and all the switches, servers, and networked worldwide. i mean, that means they own the entire network. so that if you, your phone comes on the air, then they can, they can know who you are and where you are. when citizen lab exposed and so and it's pegasus spyware in 2016, it attracted world wide controversy and a so claims its mission is to develop technology for government agencies to quote, detect and prevent terrorism and crime. however, the nature of its targets, the individuals whose phones have been hacked, raises questions about these claims. when pegasus was released a few years ago, it was mainly targeted on human rights activists, journalists, and politicians, and targeted people maybe of people with high wealth. but it's never going to be used on the, on china public. if you were to target and everyone in math net, i don't think that would be as important to the people behind it. they don't want to see my day to day that was your day to day going off to specific people. the danger of such spyware as its ability to infiltrate every piece of private information and hack the targeted device through the most used applications. oh. in 2019 whatsapp owned by facebook accused and eso of hacking the popular communications tool. and this waste fear, amongst the huge numbers of global users. of hort sab, especially at a time when some targeted victims appeared to meet with dreadful consequences it, i saw him, she led gala softly darvin visit phone miss they and been must they aletha lane with the blue bell over. so need to know who to share a quote, how of a swirl of my dog de la god, my uncle, shave mo quoterush my will, ma'am. let myself go must who i loved them. he does, i am. he saw no laws. they via

dora le mission de la vellum in shallow vejo mc hud. do. when they'll, um, so if you do think that you are someone who's an important target, you're likely to face scrutiny by some government in the middle east or elsewhere. and you are a journalist, an activist, or a member of civil society. i'd recommend that yes. please do get in touch with, with citizen lab or other researchers who work in this space in the art and yeah, any elijah model and we saw wanted to know how difficult it was to monitor a phone, suspected of being hacked. and here how many a santa basically it involves installing an app on the phone, which allows us to inspect the internet traffic. and, and we do this for some period of time, depending on what the at a user would like. we can do it for a short time. we can do it for a long time and try and identify suspicious patterns or evidence that, that the phone might be hacked. while working as an investigative journalist almost howled, was he sweats and other suspicious messages through different apps. the threats increased over the months ramping up. as he worked on more sensitive regional subjects, he decided to install a tracking up in his work phone, developed by citizen black to trace possible hacking the conventional way to hack a smartphone is to send a suspicious message to the targeted form that includes a short text and a link when the user clicks on the link, software takes control of the phone and thus makes the device accept any commands sent through the link. the device is then automatically connected to a server used by the hackers, and that is how the spyware gets installed on the phone. the user doesn't see the spyware on their phone, which is already been packed. the hackers can then control the device and all its functions. the main challenge for spyware is to find a vulnerability in the targeted phone, particularly as modern smartphone security protection techniques have developed significantly. pegasus managed to advance this capability considerably to be able to penetrate various kinds of smartphone. once the infection happened, the malware itself did the same stuff that we see a lot of malware do, which is spying, phone calls spy on text messages and whatsapp messages and any other encrypted messages you're sending and turn on your microphone and turn on your camera. um, what made it especially sophisticated was that they were willing to use brand new exploits for i phones to in fact their victims. and some of these exploits could cost upwards of a $1000000.00 each supply of pegasus spyware, to its clients, costs millions of dollars. and it can only used for a limited period of time. that means targeting a large number of smartphones from long periods of time, costs hundreds of millions of dollars. this extremely expensive cost raises questions. who can afford this spyware? who are an esl groups, main clients. on its website and a so group says its spyware is, quote, used exclusively by government intelligence, as efficiently requested by the governments themselves. does this mean that pegasus cannot be purchased by other parties? when people leave the israeli military service, they have all this very specialized, very highly sought after well paid knowledge. and so they take it to private companies such as an as oh group, right? and then they, they sell it to a countries that are known to violate human rights. because, you know, even though they are perhaps very intelligent about computer security. they clearly haven't thought so much about the human rights implications of what they're doing. or maybe they don't care. banga saws in a vault bought each and will hail it. eat doing that you more limited their like legal singlish name common mister walt. so they beat the haunted me, denote it of, in a haunted as they get on the go go me modeling on the of a lawyer. they are the will highlight the zillow ton themselves as a ally, ma hinesville, mexico in mac law, got mission moving, love a so deep emma hawaii hold amiable york and the mahalo, although of lee and the columbia of bell mann middle admitting old bo lome while working on this investigation, tom, at almost how so many signs of hacking attempts on his phone, the one he had fitted out to truck any infiltration. after 7 months, the 19th of july 2020, he received a phone call from citizen lab informing him that the phone had been hacked. the hacking happened a few days after he had issued an investigative documentary about an indian tycoon, which disclosed controversial leaked documents about the tie coons linked to the you iep, and his flight from that country. i'll miss hall had used the same phone to communicate with officials and individuals in the u. e. in order to give them the right to reply to the allegations in the film. so the 1st thing that we saw on your phone was on july 19th between about 103311288 m g m t. there were a very high number of connections to apple servers. now usually your phone will just communicate with one apple server for icloud, for your back ups, for your contacts syncing the information. but in this case, in less than an hour, we saw your phone communicate with 18 different apple servers. and this was very unusual. you don't usually see this on phone, so that was the 1st clue that something suspicious was going on. and immediately after this communication stopped, we saw your phone reach out to this website regular hours dot net. in other words, your phone connected to this website, and this website stands out, because we know from our research, a citizen lab that regular hours dot net, this website is linked to an a. so groups pegasus spyware. so we saw your phone reaching out to this en, eh, so pegasus spyware server, which led us to suspect, and then later conclude that your phone was infected. so what we can see from the recording of your internet traffic. so let's go to this point in time here, 1129, where the phone communicates with the pegasus server, and we can look beforehand to see what was going on mediately before that. and the only thing that we see is this communication with icloud, with apple servers. we don't see any evidence that you pressed on a link or clicked on anything or went to any website. so what we think happened is that these communications with apple servers delivered the initial exploits to half your phone. in other words, you didn't click on anything. your phone was automatically hacked, a so called 0 click, like we said 0, click exploit delivered through apple servers. this is a very expensive export. yes, this is if you think about the sophistication of exports to break into phones, this is as good as it gets 0 click means hacking, without clicking on any links. pegasus does not require any action by the user or a click on any suspicious links. the user receives a call from an unknown caller through the internet, and the phone gets hacked, even without answering the phone call. after that pegasus spyware is installed on the targeted phone, taking full control of the device was definitely the most sophisticated attack i've seen in the last few years. a fact it was able to be installed on a target device without the target, even clicking or anything. so 0 click attack, this is incredibly impressive, and like is a very barely thing to better do that. it's so sophisticated, but as it is rare, it's difficult for us to, to really know much more about it is something of this magnitude was able to be conducted to steal such data is the bit of a worry. he had that if the rock as you'll click tomato miss hall wanted to know if the 0 click process enabled, complete access to all the applications and content on his full fil milan. and he has as far as we know, they can access everything on the phone. we saw from looking at the log files on your phone that they were able to access the media framework. so they were able to turn on the microphone turn on the camera. if they wanted to and listen into meetings or conversations going on around your device, or they were also able to tap into the key chain on the phone. this is where your passwords for email accounts, social media maybe stored the fact that citizen lab was trucking thomas phone helped him take precautionary measures to prevent sensitive information being accessed. the most important thing was for him to discover the moment the hack into place and who else was affected. vote we found working together without the zeros i t team is that your case was not the only one. there were at least $36.00 other cases inside al, jazeera of phones that were communicating with servers that we linked to and s o groups pegasus spyware. in other words, there were many different people at al jazeera who were hacked and targeted. not just you all miss holland, the team from citizen lab. i'm allies, the data connected to the hacking technology which targeted these devices. the hack appeared to be part of an organized campaign targeting symbol tenuously. the mobile phones of dozens of al jazeera journalists in order to spy on them. according to citizen labs technical report, israel's pegasus spyware, was used to infiltrate these phones by looking at the links and the accounts, the hacking of the phones was carried out, mainly in the u. e. and saudi arabia. the 2 countries that most used this advanced israeli technology in the region. but what we saw with the infections inside al jazeera is that about half of them were from this operator that we call monarchy. it's a code name that we give these operators when we refer to them inside citizen lab. and this operator is spying mostly in saudi arabia and cutter, but not very many other countries. so this tells us, well, if they're spying mostly in saudi arabia, maybe it is, in fact the saudi arabian government and the other half were from this other operator that we call sneaky castro inside citizen lab. and this operator seems to be mostly targeting inside the united arab emirates and cutter. so this tells us that the government, in this case may be the united arab emirates government, in other words, to different governments. it, like we're behind this campaign, ah, deals to purchase pegasus spyware on no longer a secret. many reports claim that saudi arabia and the u. e. have spent hundreds of millions of us dollars to buy pegasus from israel. such deals seemed to be reinforced. after the recent you asked brokers so called normalization deal between the

ratty company that a seem as the main player in the u. s. cybersecurity. market. dark matter is a very interesting case. sits this company based in the united arab emirates, and they do sort of both a defense as well as offense. there was this great reporting from a both foreign policy as well as reuters, which looked into their offensive operations, meaning hacking. so what, what are these reports were able to establish, is that there was this a group of an essay, former an essay and former cia intelligence officials from the united states that went to go work for the u 8 e government, under the auspices of this company dark matter and just to fall into that and, and be clear, dark matter was not employing former an essay officials to spy on americans because that would obviously be a federal crime. united states that we don't do that and it's, it's not within our room. our mission or i would like sort of distrust this point is to enable societies on economies to sort of pursue their agenda of smart and safe digital. so the way it would be concrete to our mission. and you can categorically say the dot mana doesn't spy on you, a citizens. we don't do that. that's not within our capabilities. so categorically we don't do his work. or lion, they're lying, it's the only thing that had get a n o massive data for them. i designed these, we were mathematical programs. we had no upper limit on the capacity to handle data . none, there was no, no problem at trillions, quadrillion of data doesn't matter. we had no mathematical limit that i could see the american investigative website. the intercept published a report in a total of 2016. based on the experiences of an italian cybersecurity researcher approached by dark matter. the report claimed that dog matter had discussed plans to hack any device it wanted to in the u. e. at the press of a button. the report also cited a number of dark matter. employees who were former u. s. and s a and intelligence officials. the employees said they were asked to carry out offensive operations under the banner of protecting you ease, national security, dark matter dismissed. the researchers allegations saying it preferred quote, talking reality not fantasy tomato. miss hall met the author of the report. gen mclaughlin, who has investigated the work of dog matter extensively around 2015 the u a. b. and it's company essentially linked pretty closely to its own defense defense services. dark matter. wanted to get some of those employees into their own roof so they could do a lot more things more freely because some of those u. s. contractors were restricted by us laws. they were drawn by massive salaries. promises of staying in beautiful places, pool villas, yachts even some time. so once some of these employees arrived in, in dark matter, they were sort of ask questions about how to use those skills in an offensive manner. in order to do that, they would also have to have their see the corner it says would be held by, by that contractor in a skiff. but the approval for those, the clearance would come from an essay that was against the eye if it was human and so on, so that agencies would approve it. so that implies that everything that they're doing with his contractors is approved using cybersecurity firm in the regent. dark matter, we're covering really the whole of the security. we've also grabbed a lot of people all around the world. moto, very moderate alicia came from had dark letters and don't know where am in the center for who and how the center module that supply the b b then to summer i didn't want to see me monitor within the last few years i returned to i would be for a defense conference ibex and i got the chance to speak to some of my sources and others that i've met since. and they told me that all the negative attention on dark matter from my reporting and subsequent reporting from writers and others really drew a lot of attention that the royal family was not interested in. and as a result of that, members of the royal family, extremely high ranking officials sort of went to dark matter and said, you need to change the names of this. remove it, get it out of here. be a lot more discrete. i think from my perspective, ok, having a contractor us contract or working for a foreign government means they are now an agent that, that foreign government not, not a us agents. and having them come from a place like in a say where they're dealing with classified activities and then going over and assisting in classify that similar classified activities in another country. means there's foreign spies. now they're not us citizens. in the couple months after i felt publish my 1st story in between publishing my 2nd at foreign policy magazine, i was contacted by sort of mysterious source to offer documents that i was never able to verify and who had been telling me that within the company they had already been debating whether or not to hack me, but i mean years later the intercept, after i had left confirmed that the intercept was a target of the government. according to a number of reports, dog matter, try to hack the intercept website. a report published by the intercept in june 2019 said that dog might have brought x national security agency hackers and other u. s. intelligence and military veterans. to compromise the computers of political dissidence at home and abroad, including american citizens. according to the intercept, dog matter headquarters is located in this building in abu dhabi. they had a problem analyzing data on us citizens from another country as a us citizen. see, so that, sir, that is illegal. i'm. i'm sure, under title 18 laws of governing. you know classified material and classified activities. later on, citizen lab demonstrated that dog matter was the main operator of the israeli pegasus spyware. in the u. e. besides it's american staffers, dark matter also employed. x is railey officers. in branches in the u. e. cypress and singapore, the company is reported to have paid millions of dollars for their services. both al jazeera arabic and odyssey or english, contacted dark matter, and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the allegations made in the film . they declined to comment to either request. i say medina, shall violet, me slay the could elephant all dumb michelle me them mer muscled. lot know can issue a skill level that love the vall, him little molly, the tv, and he a multi 6 image, the machine but all nozzle. so can you silicon even the ashley stuck, they asked me stella, im shay, bowl mills. sham. east of sure. but dawn, i thought, negate though you innagot darla legged the all u, v. him up were leading shallow z element alternately good politician mark other clearness, him. but all, we certainly do see that israel as a hub if not in the world, and certainly in the region for this sort of cyber technology. and i think one of the things that we're going to see more and more countries like the u. e that have these big ambitions in cyberspace are going to try and replicate that sort of talent pipeline in their countries. it's very scary, especially when the targets are journalists, civil society, dissidence, these sorts of people being spied on by foreign governments or their own government . in some cases, it's really shocking, and i think it's an abuse of the spyware. the reason that the governments are interested in spying on them is for intelligence purposes, to figure out what they're up to, what they might do next. and if they can figure out what someone's doing, what they're about to do, then they can put a little bit of pressure on people and try and influence and shape the way that events unfold. ah, i'll just be contacted. many alleged victims of these spyware facts. they declined to appear in film for fear of their and their families safety. mcmillan, me, me, i'm going to run you greedy is a journalist working with a lot of the tv. our phone was hacked by pegasus spyware. between october 29 and july 2020. they had come in that this isn't a lot of the show you how about it in the mom really hate. she was who need be want sits in love with them a bit. i'm a little crazy, was on the mom muscle, and one of my heavy was on is to fulfill mean engine the bucket far, allen, me and walk our stockings at them. what about the caribbean? says you normally the torn ligaments exit said cl opinion if um britney and new. and madam is that just as big as truce? jani? my family put it out like a muffled men. hokum with me, my dad's going to, it's been a part of in, in, in, as a huffy, but there is a lot of them is they had this in front of me a lot. i went in oxford. oh, and i left a minute, i'm sure. listen, he may attend the shots, have a at the mom i la. com garbage, and then the shackle. you know, the better, more out of my vision then need assistance in one of the who she might, us was lots of journalists that get targeted and hacked. but for fewer of them are willing to come forward and tell their stories. so i think that, you know, if you were to look at some of the top media organizations in the world, maybe you'd find other other instances of people getting hacked or, or targeted. you know, we had a case, of course, back in 2018 where the bay route bureau chief of the new york times been hubbard received a text message linked to pegasus spyware. on his phone. my had the to annette unworkable. what effect iraq? so the question is, with this advanced technology, how can people ensure their devices a safe from hacking, but i wish pegasus for, for example, i, it would have been very hard to find out that your phone had been hacked. the best thing you can do is keep your phone up to date. if you have an always install, the updates on your phone says it's time to update. um, if you get a text message with a link that you're not expecting, don't click on that link. if you get an email with a link or a file that you're expecting, don't click on that link. don't open that file. if you do have something very sensitive to talk about, the best thing to do is to leave your phone at home and go on a walk. electronic frontier foundation. the f f is a us based organization whose goal is to technically and legally defend journalists and civil society activists who face cyber crimes committed by governments. e f. f has documented, arise, and the number of pegasus associated cyber crimes against journalists and activists . working on sensitive cases, we fight against a government abuse of surveillance bowers and uses that are inconsistent with human rights to stand out. and that was using mexico did thought of it lag carmen. but he stay with you some very famous embassy at yahoo marley's. in the country, and we'd have seen on saw the use of an assail pegasus in mexico that we think activists who were fighting corruption and wire friday and putting this does a dumping admiralty as a gosti against corporation or the use of of shook our and so we have to use these also against many other joe marines who are doing just their work. in my work, we have studied similar mobile phone against journalists in conflicts and human rights defenders and opposition moses and conduct and civilians in lebanon, and on the border of living and syria being spied upon by their various governments in israel, loya, my husband represents a number of phone hacking victims who have decided to file lawsuits against the israeli and national group. probably on a fair amount of money at the biggest source. yet him and i'm probably only mom, i'm but he got a couple in fenway. hark thought lee, how could cynthia, where he in and either they and they had a dad, dad who left seal headache and a couple little and we'll get caught in february of the year. was it the he'll heavy or should it should get must leo colonial camera and the lady come in this lee and whoever is vicki and with diet, i'm and i can only dial s s a little too heavy. shotuko who are not coming from us . if we ha, be head of a was you had to live where they could be, have the opposite. and that is that we a handle mostly almost how i wanted to know by the legal liability towards the victims of hacking, lies with the manufacturer on the purchaser. of the spyware justice, these companies are saying that they only sell these to government, and that they only sell it to investigate thoroughly organized crime bad. and they don't sell it to governments who don't respect human rights. but that's the general. yeah. now, and that's in go see stance. it's lee, our international law. it's inconsistent in our opinion, also with a cost additional. oh many the advantage we have review then the last i personally know above doesn't solve events. the tele bill, the tourist attacks law intercepted only due to the availability of such you are intelligence capability, name can perceive a little caught, a just sima, a letty thump a stab, a let he come back to me. how cool commercial talk in san juan. be a good. so half a year were that of on them ordered the unseen. well, at the set good. what are, i'll it there and then out look ahead of out the i the i move down the latino, my film. a bad man. you're going on. and the who love a muscle talked about it maybe in 2020 and his really caught banned the media from publishing any details about these cases in the interests of protecting israel's national security. i'll de 0 arabic, contacted the en, eh, so group, requesting an interview with senior management to give them the right to reply to, allegations made against the company. in this film, the company sent a short reply. declining the interview request, al jazeera english, contacted the en, eh, so group to give them the right to reply to allegations made against the company. in this film, they did not respond with coll, collin, in this really should get in this all is sonia the edible. whoa willa with the output with all feel. the connie of the biggest was slade, though if he alum, luna, is a must bach, warmer woolfolk always love the highest medical i was other than the feller. coleman is my leave. for be fairly cool. fall with coma to be heavy. is shatka my a lula feel alan, household all almost all the court. what wafaa got a local melissa earlier with phillip was on the defense amnesty international also took legal action against pegasus. the accused party, this time was the israeli defense ministry itself being the official body that approves and authorizes the selling of spyware. we are disappointed um, we will have to see what the court decides with the ruling on the case itself. now we hope that the court will decide the way, shoot, and revoke, and so's security license and is really court dismissed the case. i, mr. international said quote, a mountain of evidence was ignored and called the court a robber stump to the defense ministers. impunity to human rights violations. my reaction to the court decision was obviously a disappointment. it was a, it was a very strong judgement that didn't take into consideration and the evidence that we put forward, or the legal arguments that we thought were important. and, well, we are disappointed in the judgement, we still think it was a very important case in the growing evidence of and as those misuse of technology or the misuse of and as those technologies by our clients. and we hope that by bringing this case and supporting this case, we're bringing to attention the very serious issues and potential human rights impacts for our technologies like and as i was pegasus and others that are being used with impunity around the world by repressive governments. and governments, you have a terrible human rights record, a c clean late, let the ot neg id. i bought bagels. i bought in his old be glad to help. know. she blame me. goofy me slightly im shes loyal to them. all goofing below mean more . amnesty a to we'll tell em, sick we go, don't live with damage, but they slim key but damage, but they slowly view your mobile bill woven

michelle, and enough the last bit dummies. but lots of lead to leave by union odyssey or english, contacted the governments of israel kingdom of saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the allegations made in the film. they did not respond. it's very difficult to know the relationship between the ministry of defense and, and i, so there seems to be a lot of crossover at high level staff. the ministry of defense in israel is the, is the ministry that approves all exports. and basically our case was saying either the ministry of defense is not giving export licenses in line with international human rights standards. or they are giving exports in line with international human rights standards, but they have, they have a company in their jurisdiction who is acting outside of the legal export license compton. because we leon for tom on this are and others whose phones have been hacked. the question is, what recourse if any, do they have to start hardy? this sort of evidence does show that your phone was hacked and shows that there was a connection to an s o group. if you wanted to bring a legal action, i will say that there are other targets that have been engaged in legal process in israel, in cyprus, and most recently in the u. k. of a b l call arguing la la la in this elaine this over to the national ames is, i'm totally

into a window through which security services can access our private information. they can become a weapon, used by unscrupulous governments to spy on us. with little legal or moral determines there was still much to be uncovered in this secretive world of hockey, and advanced spyware. for tom, at all miss hall, this investigation into his own forms, hacking has been both revealing and alarming. ah, anticipation is rising. and so with most of my cattle aways. hello, i think there'll be a few argentinians getting hot under the collar over the next couple days, and they're starting today with
