Although the NSO side has denied involvement, "Pegasus" is a spyware that is said to have been used for monitoring politicians and journalists in each country because it is possible to extract data if it infects smartphones, and it is international. Ripples are spreading.
Regarding NSO, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced last week that it would effectively ban transactions with U.S. companies because it was against national interests, and there are likely to be more calls for transparency over product operations in the future.
