Znów wracamy do problematyki szpiegowskich praktyk uprawianych za pośrednictwem oprogramowania Pegasus i przez pracowników tej firmy, byłych agentów Mosadu. Tym razem "zapluskwili" przynajmniej 11 telefonów dyplomatów amerykańskich pracujących w Ugandzie oraz lokalnych pracowników tamtejszej amerykańskiej ambasady. Detale afery zawarte są w podlinkowanym materiale. "The advanced spyware Pegasus, created by Israeli firm NSO Group and used by governments like Saudi Arabia to gather intelligence on those it deems terrorists or criminals, has reportedly been detected on at least 11 iPhones used by US officials in Uganda or conducting business related to the country, as well as locals working for the embassy. That news — first reported Friday by Reuters — will likely exacerbate NSO Group’s fraught relationship with the US government; while the company says Pegasus can’t be used on phones with US numbers, the recent hack shows there are loopholes that allow foreign governments to spy on US citizens and government employees. It’s the first known incident of the technology being used against American officials, although it’s not yet known which of NSO Group’s clients hacked the devices." www.vox.co(*)gasus-hack-us-diplomats-uganda |
