MEP and journalist infected with #Pegasus – Stop funding & supporting companies involved in the development, sale, deployment of spyware! cdt.org/insights/joi... #Staatstrojaner

Following @citizenlab.ca's latest findings, human rights lawyer Eitay Mack has written to the head of 🇮🇱Israel's Defense Export Controls Agency (DECA), calling for an investigation into NSO Group and requesting enforcement action over the company's activities.

@citizenlab.ca's Pegasus revelations show the EU's spyware crisis is far from over. CDT Europe, alongside 38 CSOs, is calling for an independent investigation, implementation of the PEGA recommendations, remedies for victims, stronger enforcement, and an end to EU support for spyware companies.

⚠️Following @citizenlab.ca's revelations that Stelios Kouloglou was surveilled with NSO Group's #Pegasus, a coalition of leading civil society organisations has published a joint statement calling on the 🇪🇺EU institutions to regulate #spyware technologies & strengthen protections against their abuse.

Spyware should not exist. It's outrageous that Members of the European Parliament are hacked with the same spyware they are supposed to oversee.

A Member of the @europarl.europa.eu Stelios Kouloglou investigating #spyware abuse was hacked with #Pegasus while serving on the PEGA Committee. READ THAT AGAIN. They didn’t only target an MEP. They spied on the investigation into spyware abuse itself. 🧵1/9

Ultimate irony of Europe’s spyware crisis: MEP on the very committee tasked with investigating #Pegasus gets hacked by it www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j... #Staatstrojaner

‼️ Breaking! New revelations by @citizenlab.ca: a member of the @europarl.europa.eu "PEGA" inquiry committee into the abuse of spyware was himself targeted with #Pegasus spyware. That is a direct attack on democracy, aiming to eliminate scrutiny. @ec.europa.eu allows it to happen 🧵

🚨 A new @citizenlab.ca Lab report says NSO Group's Pegasus #spyware was used to target 🇬🇷MEP Stelios Kouloglou after he joined the European Parliament's PEGA inquiry committee investigating spyware abuses in 🇪🇺EU. ✍️ @skirchy.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

NEW: Russia hacked into the phone of a Putin political opponent with Cellebrite — three months after the company said it cut ties with the Russian government. Cellebrite said that “any use of legacy Cellebrite hardware in Russia after March 2021 is entirely unauthorized.” Clearly it didn’t matter.

NEW: WhatsApp said it caught and disrupted a new hacking campaign by NSO Group against its users. The Meta-owned messaging giant said this phishing campaign violates a court decision that ordered NSO to stop targeting WhatsApp and its users. WhatsApp is seeking to hold NSO in contempt of court.

Meta's PR embarrassing themselves on X by misrepresenting what Wired actually reported, and in the process admitting that the feature exists. It's funny that a company would include a feature like this in a product and expect everyone to believe it may never turn it on. Sure! I believe you.

Con grande dispiacere apprendiamo della scomparsa di Carola Frediani. Carola è stata un faro del giornalismo tech in Italia: ha reso accessibili a tutti argomenti a lungo riservati a pochi, con fattualità, accuratezza e una capacità di racconto rara. Ci mancherai. www.guerredirete.it/addio-carola/

NEW: Hackers are trying to steal Signal users' online backups in a new wave of attacks. The hackers are pretending to be Signal Support and asking targets to share their backup's Recovery Key. This would be the first step in an attack that also requires attackers to take over the victims' accounts.

The Ontario Police got a court authorization to use spyware (they call it “on‑device investigative tool” or ODIT) to investigate a car theft ring. We need more of these cases to be public. Keeping the use of spyware secret is not doing authorities any favors. www.thestar.com/news/ontario...
