Is this a reliable source? Anyhow, The Guardian and WaPo made clear the leak are not confirmed Pegasus targets, but rather:
> The leak contains a list of more than 50,000 phone numbers that, it is believed, have been identified as those of people of interest by clients of NSO since 2016.
And:
> The analysis also uncovered some sequential correlations between the time and date a number was entered into the list and the onset of Pegasus activity on the device, which in some cases occurred just a few seconds later.
Suggesting it may be a superset of pegasus targets. They managed to examine 57 phones on the list and found that 37 were infected.
- Scoundreller 5y agoSounds like Pegasus let users add a bunch of numbers to “follow”, but maybe their tech wouldn’t allow them to be taken over, yet? Maybe it would “ping” these numbers to see if they got ported to a vulnerable device/version but otherwise sit and follow them? Or users could attack a device if they’re out of country but not if they’re in-country? Or vice versa?
- dogma1138 5y agoIf the article is true it doesn’t sounds like the list has anything directly to do with NSO. It can be that the project just compiled a list of 50,000 high value targets and then assessed which of these has been targeted.
