Mobile devices belonging to Finnish diplomats have been spied on using the Israeli cyber espionage software Pegasus, Finland's government says
The controversial spyware, which can infiltrate phones to extract sensitive information, has dragged the Israeli spyware company NSO Group into one scandal after the other.
The victims were targeted through Pegasus software developed by Israeli spyware company NSO Group, the Finnish Foreign Ministry said on on Friday. The ministry reported it had been investigating the case since the fall, adding that “the espionage is no longer active.” The Pegasus software can seamlessly infiltrate a mobile phone and allow its operators to gain access to the device’s contents and location history.
