Regarding the "list": Amnesty said 34 iPhones were forensically checked. 23 successfully had malware (specifically NSO's Pegasus) installed on them. The other 11 saw attempts at malware infection. [0]
That's a 100% hit rate on their sampling of the "list".
That makes this statement demonstrably false: "The numbers in the list are not related to NSO group." At this point, why would you even care to read the rest of this statement if it includes a bald-faced lie at the top? (You would have to disbelieve both Amnesty and Citizen Lab (who provided peer review) to see it as anything but a lie.)
But, as others are saying, NSO contradicts itself with respect to what it says it does and does not know about who is attacked with Pegasus. Here's a good thread on that: https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1417127080672776192 https://twitter.com/zackwhittaker/status/1417127080672776192
This company's PR communications are so self-contradictory and deceitful that it's insulting.
