FBI probes use of Israeli firm’s spyware in personal and government hacks
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the role of Israeli spyware vendor, NSO Group Technologies, in possible hacks on US residents and companies, as well as suspected intelligence gathering on governments, Reuters reported on Friday.
According to Reuters, the investigation started in 2017, when the FBI investigated the possibility that NSO obtained codes from US hackers in order to hack mobiles.
NSO claims that it sells its own espionage software and technical support only to governments, to use for tracking “suspected terrorists and other criminals”.
The Israeli firm has been claiming for a long time that its products do not target US citizens, but according to Reuters, experts dispute this.
After a complaint from Facebook against NSO, claiming it used WhatsApp to hack the accounts of 1,400 users, Reuters revealed that the FBI interviewed several experts in the field, to consult them on the issue...
Outside of government, journalists, human rights activists and dissidents in several countries have been victims of attacks using NSO spyware, according to the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab researchers.
In the past, NSO has denied involvement in some of those instances and declined to discuss others, citing client confidentiality requirements.
