NSO warns Calcalist of legal action over ‘sensationalist’ claims

NSO Group has sent a letter to the Calcalist newspaper warning it of potential legal action over its reports claiming NSO spyware was used to illegally hack the phones of numerous Israelis.

The company says the paper has published “sensationalist” claims without providing any evidence to back them up.

This morning Calcalist published an interview with an unnamed source “with very close knowledge” of the architecture of NSO’s Pegasus spyware, who claimed that the company’s tech can be configured to leave no footprints.

This, the paper says, means police logs of their usage of the software might not be trustworthy.
