MEMORY LANE | Dozens of #Journalists’ #iPhones #Hacked with #NSO ‘#ZERO_CLICK’ #spyware, says #Citizen_Lab

The spyware was #silently_delivered, likely over #iMessage.

NSO #sells governments and nation states #access to its #Pegasus_spyware as a #prepackaged service by providing the #infrastructure and the #exploits needed to launch the spyware against the customer’s #targets.

But the spyware maker has repeatedly #distanced itself from what its customers do and has said it does not know who its customers target. Some of NSO’s known customers include #authoritarian_regimes.

#Saudi_Arabia allegedly used the #surveillance technology to spy on the #communications of columnist #Jamal_Khashoggi shortly before his murder, which U.S. intelligence concluded was likely ordered by the kingdom’s de facto ruler, Crown Prince #Mohammed_bin_Salman.

Citizen Lab said it also found #evidence that #Dridi, a journalist at Arabic television station #Al_Araby in #London, had fallen #victim to a zero-click #attack. The researchers said Dridi was likely targeted by the #UAE_government.

In a phone call, Dridi told TechCrunch that her phone may have been targeted because of her close association to a person of interest to the UAE.

Dridi’s phone, an iPhone XS Max, was targeted for a longer period, likely between October 2019 and July 2020. The researchers found evidence that she was targeted on two separate occasions with a zero-day attack.
