These two journalists, who worked for Serbia-based Balakan Investigative Reporting Network (BIRN), received suspicious text messages with a link-in accordance with a phishing attack, non-profit. In one case, Amnesty says its researchers were able to click on the link to the safe environment and found it led to a domain that they had previously identified as the NSO group infrastructure.

“Amnesty International NSO Group has spent years of tracking Pegasus Spyware and used to target staff and journalists,” tells Doncha Techchen, head of the Amnesty Security Lab. “In this technical study, Amnesty has allowed the detection of contaminated websites used to supply pegasus spyware with specific pegasus domain used in this promotion.”

In his speech, security researchers like Serbil who have been keeping the tabs in NSO activities over the years are now so good in identifying the organization’s signs. Spyware All the researchers that sometimes have to do is focus on a domain involved in a rapid attack.

In other words, the NSO group and its customers are losing their war to stay in the shadow.

“NSO has a primary problem: they are not as good to hide their customers,” John Scott-Relton TechCranch, a senior researcher at Citizens Lab, investigated spyware abuse since 2002.

A spokesperson for the NSO group did not respond to any request for the comment, which includes questions about the disappearance or lack of pegasus and whether the customers of the NSO group are concerned about it.

In addition to the non -profit, the NSO Group’s Spyware continues to be caught by Apple, which has been Sending Notification To the victims of spyware around the world, often induce people who received these notifications To get help from access nowAmnesty and Citizen Lab. These inventions created more technical reports for spyware documenting spyware, as well as other companies, as well as other companies.

Probably the problem of the NSO group determines the fact that it sells in countries that use their spyware indiscriminately, including journalists and other members of civil society.
