>Human rights advocates have long warned that companies that sell software to governments for the purpose of national security do little to restrict their products’ use and help authoritarian regimes crack down on dissenters. NSO Group, which has denied allegations that it provided the software used by Saudi Arabian security services before they murdered journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018, has suffered several setbacks recently. In an article about ESET’s research published Tuesday , Middle East Eye said it “is exploring possible legal action that could be taken against parties it believed may have played a role in the attack.”
I wonder which government this Israeli company were helping to gather information on things of interest to Israel. It’s a shame the article doesn’t say.
We need to sanction the shit out of these clearly malicious Israeli companies posting as innocent businesses.
