| Titolo | Pegasus Infected European Parliament Spyware Investigator’s iPhone |
| Contesto | Citizen Lab found that the iPhone of former European Parliament member Stelios Kouloglou was infected twice with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware, in October 2022 and March 2023, while he served on the Parliament’s PEGA Committee investigating spyware abuse across Europe. Researchers said the attacks used a zero-click exploit against an Apple iPhone vulnerability that had been patched but not installed on the device, potentially giving the operator access to private messages, location data, photos, and even ambient audio without any user interaction. The infections occurred during sensitive PEGA work, including hearings and draft reporting on alleged spyware abuses in Cyprus, Greece, Hungary, Poland, and Spain, intensifying concerns that commercial spyware was used against a lawmaker scrutinizing its misuse. Citizen Lab did not name the government behind the operation, but said the same Pegasus-linked email address and infrastructure overlapped with an earlier cluster targeting Russian- and Belarusian-speaking journalists and opposition figures, strongly suggesting a common operator with cross-border reach; Kouloglou has said he believes he was targeted because of his committee role and plans to sue NSO Group. |
