According to a report by 17 major global media outlets, UNSAW is accused of selling Pegasus spy software to the governments of Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Morocco, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, India and the UAE. Mobile software and human rights defenders have been hacked into mobile phones by this software. According to the report, the telephone numbers of French President Emmanuel Macron and top government ministers were on a list of thousands of people targeted by Pegasus software. The Zionist regime demanded an explanation.
US officials announced last week that Israeli technology company NSO, the maker of Pegasus spy software, was sharing its data with the Zionist regime.
An unnamed US official said NSO would no doubt share sensitive national security information with the Israeli government.
He added that governments around the world believe that NSO is working with the Israeli government.
How does Pegasus software work?
The first Israeli spy program, Pegasus, was revealed in 2016; The cell phone of “Emirati activist” Ahmad Mansour was hacked by a series of highly advanced spyware programs, after which Mansour was arrested and is still imprisoned.
The most prominent feature of this program is the “ZERO click” technology or hacking the phone without the user contacting the suspicious link, and it is the most advanced technique for hacking the phone and spying on its users without their knowledge, because it is very expensive and costs more than three million dollars.
The Zionist company has stated that the main goal of the program is to fight what is called terrorism, but the victims targeted – according to British security expert Jake Moore – were human rights activists, journalists, politicians and some wealthy people, so each The person behind the program is targeting specific people.
The threat also lies in its ability to infiltrate the most precise privacy, as Facebook explicitly accused the Israeli company of stealing and hacking its popular WhatsApp app and spying on hundreds of specific users.
In 2019, the software infiltrated WhatsApp social media and spied on millions of users of the program, made headlines in the media.
Controversy in Hungary
On July 26, nearly a thousand people, organized by opposition political parties, demonstrated in front of the House of Terror Museum in Budapest. The protests came in response to revelations by the Hungarian government about the use of Pegasus spy software to monitor the activities of journalists, businessmen and politicians.
The House of Terror Museum is housed in a building where people were interrogated, tortured, or killed, and houses exhibits of victims of fascist and Stalinist regimes in the twentieth century.
The protesters demanded the resignation of Prime Minister Victor Urban and Hungarian Justice Minister Judith Varga. Under Hungarian law, Varga can order secret surveillance without a court order.
While the leaked information contained the telephone numbers of about 300 Hungarian citizens, the analysis showed that Pegasus was also used to hack into the smartphones of at least five Hungarian journalists.
