Kafli #5 - Verndun gegn Pegasus
Á hverju ári fjárfesta ríkisstjórnir, lögreglustofnanir, hermálayfirvöld og stórfyrirtæki fyrir milljarða dollara í gerð og kaup á illvígum njósnahugbúnaði - hugbúnaði sem er hannaður til að smeygja sér inn á tæki notenda og gera kleift að skoða efni á tækjunum án þess að viðkomandi notendur verði þess varir.
Á þessu ári upplýsti Pegasus Project að notendur þessa njósnabúnaðar, sem þekkt er undir nafninu Pegasus og er framleitt af NSO, höfðu beint spjótum sínum að símum þúsunda manns í yfir 50 löndum, þar með töldum stjórnendum fyrirtækja, stjórnmálamanna, blaðamanna og talsmanna mannréttinda.
