Spotlight on spyware firm NSO s ties to Israeli state   Thu, Jul 22 2021 08:11:50 AM New Delhi, Jul 22 (IANS): The Pegasus project has turned the spotlight on spyware firm NSO Groups ties to the Israeli state, The Guardian reported. The disclosures about political figures have put Israel under increasing pressure over the extent of surveillance, The Guardian said. But revelations about how repressive states such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Azerbaijan and others have used NSO s technology to target human rights lawyers, activists and journalists raise questions for Israel, putting the issue under fresh scrutiny. The disclosures threaten to put diplomatic pressure on Israel, amid questions over whether it is using the licensing of NSO s spyware for political leverage and allowing the software to be sold to undemocratic countries that are likely to misuse it, the report added.
