RSF wants Israel to halt spyware exports

The Reporters Without Borders (RSF) Wednesday demanded Israel suspend the exports of its spyware –Pegasus – until a security system is placed on it.

According to the 24News HD TV channel, the RSF—one of the independent organization for the protection of journalists across the world—urged Israel to freeze the exports of espionage technology.

The Israeli company named NSO Group had supplied the spyware Pegasus to 45 countries who used the data against 200 heads of the states and the journalists.

Same espionage technology had been used by India for hacking Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan’s cellular number as a Person of Interest (means most valuable personality).

As per investigations, the Pegasus was used against at least 14 rulers of the world including presidents of France, Iraq, South Africa and premiers of Pakistan, Egypt, Morocco, Yamen, Lebanon, Uganda, Kazakhstan, Algeria, and Belgium.
