Former PM Barak: Shin Bet can check in 12 hours if a phone was hacked by police
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFormer prime minister Ehud Barak says the Shin Bet should be able to ascertain within less than a day whether phones of people allegedly hacked by police illegally were indeed targeted.
Barak tweets that the internal security agency has tools that should allow it to know within 12 hours whether a phone was accessed by NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.
Barak says the agency should be able to check the phones of all 26 people named in Calcalist as hacking targets “within perhaps 48 hours.”
Barak says it’s “lamentable” that this has not yet been done, and calls on the government to do so now.
