Israeli NSO Spyware Targeted Reporters, Activists in El Salvador

According to Access Now, many of the people who were targeted work with organizations that have encountered persecution from El Salvador’s government. However, it is still unknown who was behind the hacking of the phones of journalists and activists.

According to the research, the people whose phones were infected with Pegasus malware were targeted between July 2020 and November 2021. 

Access Now and many other rights groups are demanding the United Nations to investigate alleged human rights violations enabled by NSO's Pegasus spyware.
