Israeli spyware used to target Moroccan journalist, Amnesty claims

Amnesty alleges phone of Omar Radi in Morocco was infected by NSO's Pegasus software

As NSO Group faced mounting criticism last year that its hacking software was being used illegally against journalists, dissidents and campaigners around the world, the Israeli spyware company unveiled a new policy that it said showed its commitment to human rights.

Now an investigation has alleged that another journalist, Omar Radi in Morocco, was targeted with NSO's Pegasus software and put under surveillance just days after the company made that promise.
