Israeli police 'used Pegasus spyware to snoop on Benjamin Netanyahu's son and advisors' in growing privacy scandal

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Israeli police have illegally used Pegasus malware to hack the phones of dozens of prominent figures including Benjamin Netanyahu's son, according to new reports.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett vowed government action would be taken as the country's privacy scandals thickens.

The latest bombshell from business daily Calcalist alleged that Pegasus was used against a son of former premier Benjamin Netanyahu, Avner, and his advisors, as well as activists, senior government officials, businessmen and others.

Calcalist had previously reported that the controversial malware, which can turn a phone into a pocket spying device, was used by police against leaders of an anti-Netanyahu protest movement.

Pegasus is a malware product made by the Israeli firm NSO at the centre of a months-long international scandal following revelations that it was used by governments worldwide to spy on activists, politicians, journalists and even heads of state.
