| Summary |
A report on the growing, shadowy global market of cyber espionage, focusing specifically on the secretive and controversial NSO Group, headquartered in Herzliya, Israel. NSO developed a hacking tool that can break into just about any smartphone and licenses this software, called Pegasus, to intelligence and law enforcement agencies worldwide. Problems arise when the software, used to infiltrate the encrypted phones and apps of criminals and terrorists, is deployed by governments to crush dissent; therefore, linking it to human rights abuses, unethical surveillance and the murder of Saudi Arabian critic and columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Includes interviews with: Shalev Hulio, co-founder and CEO, NSO Group; Ghanem Almasarir, a Saudi comic living in London, who is critical of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman; Ron Deibert, director of Citizen Lab, a human rights watchdog at the University of Toronto; Bill Marczak, researcher and computer scientist, Citizen Lab; and Tami Shachar, co-president, NSO Group |
