re: PEGASUS Project -US ALLIES' Officials Among Targets of NSO Malware
Edward Snowden Calls For Spyware Trade Ban Amid Pegasus Revelations
NSA whistleblower warns of world in which no phone is safe from state-sponsored hackers if no action taken
The Guardian UK, 2O JUL 2021
Edward Snowden on spyware: 'This is an industry that should not exist'
Governments must impose a global moratorium on the international spyware trade or face a world in which no mobile phone is safe from state-sponsored hackers, Edward Snowden has warned in the wake of revelations about the clients of NSO Group.
Snowden, who in 2013 blew the whistle on the secret mass surveillance programmes of the US National Security Agency, described for-profit malware developers as “an industry that should not exist”.
He made the comments in an interview with the Guardian after the first revelations from the Pegasus project, a journalistic investigation by a consortium of international media organisations into the NSO Group and its clients.
