WASHINGTON: Senior government officials from all over the world, including individuals in high national security positions that are “US Allies”, targeted by the government using the NSO Spyware in the 2019 attack on 1,400 WhatsApp users, according to the Head of the Executive Officer’s Message Application, Wali reported.
CEO WhatsApp will Cathcart reveal new details about individuals targeted in attack after revelation this week by Pegasus Project, Collaboration 17 media organizations that investigate NSO, Israeli companies that sell strong supervision software to government clients throughout the world.
, Cathcart said that he saw parallel between attacks on WhatsApp users in 2019, which is now the subject of the lawsuit brought by WhatsApp against NSO, and reported about the leakage of large data in the Pegasus Project Center.
“Reporting matches what we see in the attack we beat two years ago, was very consistent with what we stated hard,” Cathcart said in an interview with The Guardian.
In addition to “senior government officials”, WhatsApp found that journalists and human rights activists were targeted in the 2019 attack on its users.
Many targets in the case of WhatsApp, he said, has “no business under supervision in any way, form or form”, said report.
“This must be a wake-up call for security on the internet, cellphones are good safe for everyone or They are not safe for everyone, “he said.
According to the report, Cathcart, Cathcart questioned NSO’s claim that the number itself was “excessive”, by saying that WhatsApp had recorded an attack on 1,400 users over a two-week period in 2019.
“which tells us that in a period of a longer time, during the period A longer time, during the excess period.
Time, the number of people attacked is very high, “he said, adding:” That’s why we feel very important to increase this concern.
“When WhatsApp said it was convinced that the users” “targeted”, that means The company has evidence that NSO servers are trying to install malware on user devices, Guardian said.
When WhatsApp was announced two years ago that users have been targeted by users.
NSO malware, he said 100 of 1,400 targets are journalists, human rights defenders and activists.
The users are targeted through the WhatsApp vulnerability which is then repaired.
According to LA Poran, Cathcart said he had discussed the 2019 attack on the government with the government throughout the world.
He also praised the recent movement by Microsoft and others in the technology industry that talked about the dangers of malware, and asked Apple – the cellphone was vulnerable to malware infections – to adopt their approach, according to their reports, according to their reports.
“I hope Apple will start taking the approach too.
Join, join.
It’s not enough to say, most of our users don’t need to worry about this.
It’s not enough to say ‘oh this is only thousands or tens of thousands of victims,” Kathcart was quoted.
“If this affects journalists around the world, this affects human rights defenders throughout the world, which affects us all.
And if anyone’s cellphone is not secured that means phone calls are not safe,” he added.
He also asked the government to help create accountability for spyware makers, the report said.
The Guardian reported that whatsapp had launched his lawsuit against NSO at the end of 2019, claiming that Israeli companies were responsible for sending malware to mobile users WhatsApp.
A judge in this case shows that the underlying facts in the case – that the evil code owned by NSO was sent through WhatsApp service – it seems not debated.
Instead, the lawsuit revolves around whether the “Sovereign Customer” NSO blames, or the company itself, the report said itself.
