NSO

The phone of Russian independent media figure Galina Timchenko had reportedly been infected using spyware built by the Israeli company NSO Group.

The government’s decision to create a new commission of inquiry to check into the police’s alleged illegal hacking of citizens’ cellphones set up one of the most staggering battles to date.

The lawsuit charged that NSO Group "destroyed Elatr's life, forcing her to live in fear and isolation, never able to safely return...or have a normal life."

The meetings came in response to revelations that evidence obtained using spyware was used in a Haifa double murder case.

The evidence withdrawn on Monday had been collected from the stored data on computers.

Englman told Jerusalem Post correspondent Khaled Abu Toameh how he had prioritized cyber security in his audits of government and civil organizations.

This breach not only compromises his personal information but also jeopardizes the integrity of his investigations.

LAW ENFORCEMENT AFFAIRS: MK Moshe Saada explains why his plan to split the Police Investigation Department from the State Attorney’s Office will hold those in power accountable.

Gottlieb said, "No one can pass the audit on themselves, and we should think about examining things with a governmental or state investigative committee."

Its hacking tools have been used against journalists, opposition figures and advocacy organizations across at least 10 countries.
