Several 'authoritarian' governments have used Israeli software to spy on the cell phones of journalists, activists and managers around the world.

This is what emerges from the leaks of an investigation conducted by the Washington Post and 16 other international newspapers.

The software, sold by the Israeli NSO Group and called Pegasus, was created to allow governments to track terrorists and criminals.

Among the governments that have used it to spy there would be - writes the WP - that of Victor Orban.

And from the papers it appears that people close to Jamal Khashoggi, the murdered Saudi reporter, also ended up in the crosshairs.
