Morocco: NSO Group's Pegasus Spyware Targeted Journalists and Opposition
New investigations by international media outlets, including German weekly DIE ZEIT, reveal that Morocco used Pegasus spyware—developed by NSO Group, an Israeli cybersecurity firm—to monitor politicians, opposition figures, and journalists. Investigative journalist Omar Radi is at the center of the case. A former Moroccan intelligence officer described Pegasus as a "monster weapon" deployed as a last resort. Implications involving Israel and the United Arab Emirates are also documented.
