A Spyware breached the privacy of High-ranking officials in the EU last year. The senior officials affected by the attack are up to five. Among them are a Statesman from Belgium, Didier Reynders, and the European Justice Commissioner for four years. Two other officials in the European Union confirmed the incident but didn’t give further details about it.
The attack occurred between February & September 2021 through a software that the NSO Group created. Many governments used the malware “Pegasus” to spy on their opponents and critics, leading to lawsuits. However, NSO denies that their tools were used in this attack. But an investigation is ongoing to discover what happened. However, IT experts have checked the smartphones involved in the attack but haven’t given any precise results of their findings.
