(AP Photo/Emrah Gurel, File) BOSTON (AP) An investigation by a global media consortium based on leaked targeting data provides further evidence that military-grade malware from Israel-based NSO Group, the world’s most infamous hacker-for-hire outfit, is being used to spy on journalists, human rights activists and political dissidents.
An investigation by a global media consortium has alleged that military-grade malware from the Israel-based NSO Group is being used to spy on journalists, human rights activists and political dissidents.
The consortium of 17 news organisations says it has identified more than 1,000 individuals in 50 countries allegedly selected by NSO clients for potential surveillance. They include nearly 200 journalists.
The leaked targeting data – a list of more than 50,000 mobile phone numbers – was obtained by the French journalism non-profit Forbidden Stories and the human rights group Amnesty International.
The NSO Group denies the data was leaked from its servers and calls Forbidden Stories’ report “full of wrong assumptions and uncorroborated theories”.
