"Traces of spyware on the phones of leaked targets is simply a coincidence"

  Insane right? If that statement were true imagine what that must mean, 37 out of "a random selection of" 67 phones infected... (because the statement implies the 67 are a random selection from all phones worldwide). They have more issues if the statement is true than if it is not!

  Think about this reasonably. I've worked with intelligence bodies before and they would never run something like pegasus on a cloud or connected to the internet. Products like Pegasus are almost always an on-prem enterprise-product it's simply the only model that makes sense security wise. If you were a client of NSO would you trust them to not look at the data? My guess is that the list is from one of NSO's other products or someone trying to gather business intelligence on NSO - for example: location tracking, check when user is online etc - anything that can reasonably justify the data not being sensitive enough for customers like security agencies to be OK with it being in the cloud. Consider if any of those dictators would want the US and Israeli governments to have access to whomever they're tapping on.

    Consider if any of those dictators would want the US and Israeli governments to have access to whomever they're tapping. That's why they don't buy from the US or Israeli government: they buy from NSO who are a bunch of crooks.

    > would never run something like pegasus on a cloud or connected to the internet. Intel agencies use the cloud extensively for all sorts of use cases. This is 100% fact. Google “Amazon C2E”
