The headline is misleading. They were clarifying that the numbers on the list weren’t necessarily hacked. This has been abundantly clear since the beginning and the news agencies continue to make it clear in every article they do on it. Maybe I’m wrong but this post seems like blatant propaganda.
- msravi 5y agoThe Guardian's Headlines: Revealed: leak uncovers global abuse of cyber-surveillance weapon Spyware sold to authoritarian regimes used to target activists, politicians and journalists, data suggests UAE linked to listing of hundreds of UK phones in Pegasus project leak A special investigation into NSO Group, which sells hacking spyware to governments The Washington Post: Invisible surveillance: How spyware is secretly hacking smartphones How Pegasus works, who is vulnerable and why it’s hard to protect yourself from hacks Prime ministers, presidents and a king found on list that includes phone numbers targeted by spyware All this with no inkling of where those 50000 names were obtained from or how they established a link between that list and Pegasus. From a cherry-picked list of 67 numbers of which 37 were found to contain it - how do you establish a "link" between the list and Pegasus with that kind of sample? What looks like propaganda?
