"This technical analysis provides the most detailed view yet into the inner workings of the Pegasus spyware system. This includes confirmation of key technical capabilities such as the infection vectors and methodologies used to infect devices, supported by analysis of internal NSO Group documents, that until now had only been identified via forensic investigations. It also presents new material further validating the accuracy and significance of the dataset underpinning the original Pegasus Project investigation. Finally, this research provides an updated analysis, drawing on previously published Pegasus forensic evidence and newly released materials, to validate the technical methodology used to forensically link Pegasus spyware attacks targeting different victims as originating from the same Pegasus customer.
A key aim of this publication is to document and demystify the functionality and operations of technological systems like Pegasus. We hope that it will inform the wider spyware accountability community on how complex surveillance systems such as Pegasus are used by government customers, and also illustrate the key and ongoing role of spyware vendors in keeping such systems operational. We believe this public understanding is of critical value to technologists, researchers, and policy makers and others with an interest in understanding the targeted surveillance ecosystem and threats posed to human rights by surveillance technologies.
The contents of this technical research draw heavily on a large pool of confidential NSO Group training material, presentations and internal technical documentation which were disclosed as part of a long-running civil case taken by WhatsApp and Meta against NSO Group in U.S. court. This new material provides an unprecedented insight into the evolution of NSO Group’s spyware."

#Politician who investigated spyware abuses had his phone hacked with #Pegasus #spyware
A government customer of #NSOGroup used the company's Pegasus spyware to hack into the phone of a European politician, who at the time was serving on an #EU committee tasked with investigating the spyware industry.
The researchers at the University of Toronto’s digital rights unit #CitizenLab say the confirmed phone hacking of Greek journalist and former politician #SteliosKouloglou.

According to Citizen Lab, former MEP Stelios Kouloglou was hacked with #Pegasus while serving on the PEGA Committee, led by Sophie in ’t Veld, investigating spyware abuse.
Pegasus is commercial spyware from #NSOGroup, sold or licensed to operators willing to spy on democratically elected MEPs.
Remember that when the #zeroday trade is laundered again as “cybersecurity” or “saving democracy.”

Pegasus spia chi indaga su Pegasus: il caso Kouloglou scuote il Parlamento Europeo
Il Citizen Lab conferma: l'eurodeputato greco Stelios Kouloglou, membro della commissione PEGA incaricata di indagare sugli abusi di spyware, è stato colpito da Pegasus nel 2022 e nel 2023 con un exploit zero-click che ha sfruttato una falla in HomeKit. È il primo caso pubblico di un membro della commissione stessa preso di mira. -

WhatsApp vs NSO Group: violata l’ingiunzione del tribunale, spearphishing contro gli utenti nonostante il divieto
Dopo aver vinto la causa contro NSO Group nel 2025, WhatsApp chiede al tribunale federale di sanzionare la società israeliana per aver continuato ad attaccare i propri utenti con campagne di spearphishing, violando l'ingiunzione permanente emessa in ottobre. Un caso che ridefinisce i limiti legali del mercato degli spyware commerciali. -

#AmReading Chasing Shadows: Cyber Espionage, Subversion, and the Global Fight for Democracy.
Written by @rondeibert, founder and director of Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, the book recounts how Citizen Lab grew from an upstart research group to a major force in exposing cyber mercenaries (most of them the spawn of Israel's notorious Unit 8200).
It's frankly terrifying.
