The UN has demanded closer regulation of surveillance tech following extensive phone-hacking revelations.
Activists, journalists and politicians around the world have been spied on using cellphone malware developed by a private Israeli firm, it emerged Sunday.
The use of the software, called Pegasus and developed by Israel s NSO group, was exposed in a data leak containing 50,000 phone numbers that belong to people targeted by NSO s clients since 2016.
Among those clients are some of the world s most-repressive government regimes, including Hungary, Saudi Arabia and Morocco.
