Mexican Government was spying on Journalists and Activists with Pegasus Surveillance software

Journalists and activists in Mexico accused the government of spying on them with the powerful surveillance software Pegasus developed by the NSO Group. The surveillance software is the questionable Pegasus that is developed by Israeli surveillance. The company has an internal ethics committee that monitors the sales and potential customers verifying that the software will not be abused to violate human rights. The government targeted individuals that exposed evidence on government corruption and activists who revealed human rights violations by the Mexican Government. The discovery is the result of an investigation conducted by Mexican NGOs and the CitizenLab organization.”]
