The article talks about a German MEP who was most likely targeted by Hungarian intelligence [0] due to his very vocal anti-Orban stance and how he was recently pushing against Hungary and Orban after his recent visits to Russia.
The perpetrator was most likely Hungarian intelligence who used a product they bought from an Israeli company.
Imo, the bigger question is why Hungary, Poland, Spain, Greece, and Cyprus (all countries part of the recent EU Spyware Scandal) [1] continue to allow their Interior Ministries to attack the phones of both domestic and foreign opponents.
