Activists phones targeted by one of the worlds most advanced spyware apps

Amnesty International: Mobile phones of two prominent human rights activists were targeted with Pegasus spyware. One of the activists was repeatedly subjected to attacks that redirected visits intended for Yahoo to malicious sites. Amnesty International identified the targets as activist Mati Monjib and human rights lawyer Abdessadak El Bouchattaoui. In 2016, United Arab Emirates dissident Ahmed Mansoor received text messages that tried to lure him to a site that would install Pegasus on his fully patched iPhone. It’s not the first time NSO spyware has been used to surveil activists or dissidents.”]
