NSO Fallout: “Israel” Tightens Cyber Exports

 

“Israeli” systems are also prevented from being used “to inflict harm on an individual or a group of individuals, merely due to their religion, sex or gender, race, ethnic group, sexual orientation, nationality, country of origin, opinion, political affiliation, age or personal status,” the ministry stated.

 

The document notes that anyone who violates the commitment will lose the right to use the cyber-offensive system in question.

 

This past summer, an international group of journalists reported that the “Israeli” firm NSO Group helped governments spy on journalists, activists, and political rivals using its Pegasus software.
