Just surreal and unbelievable that this old lady seats there with people and company from arguably one of the worst human rights violator of the world yet doesn't ask how it potentially violates internally the rights of its citizens and Palestinians . God knows what this pegasus malware does to ordinary Palestinian citizens and activists.
The irony of them saying that they don't deal with customers who will use it against human rights activists. Yet, their government just declared various human rights organisations as "terrorists".....
The same people that publicly condemn Khashoggi's killers, also make deals with his killers behind closed doors and applaud Pegasus while they incarcerate people like Julian Assange. Hacking it seems, is ok as long as it's the government doing it, but when a private person does it, it's a crime.
There was very serious abuses were detected in India by the Modi government who used Pegasus to monitor journalists and human rights activists. But Sixty Minutes very conveniently omitted this.

Israeli companies care about money and less about human rights, that is a fact.. and this technology of NSO group is also helping Israeli government to collect information from the Saudis and other Arab countries, so they benefit either way.
It’s painful, as a Jew, to hear Tami Shachar say: ‘I think that people that [sic] are not part of criminal or terroristic activities have nothing to worry about’, knowing how NSO Group’s Phantom software has been employed in the United States, and for what reason.
The fact that you're watching this should give you pause. You're able to watch this only because "they" want you to. No reputable spy agency goes on 60 minutes and talks about anything. This was compromised, and now you're seeing damage control produced with the help of 60 minutes.
From a PR standpoint, Pegasus lost the public trust with this interview. That there was no firm statement that the Saudis were stripped of their ability to use this software equals a statement that “We, NSO, will prostitute ourselves in order to make a sale.” Their so-called “ethics committee”? Israelis? Ethics? Oxymoron… And when a spokesperson says that “The innocent have nothing to worry about” you had better start worrying. One needs no further proof than the “contract” signed by their customers. Puh-leese. Score bonus points for Citizens Lab of Canada. Too bad their research has zero teeth. P.S. NSO did not shut down the Saudis.
When they showed the screens of the employees in NSO's office, I really was expecting some crazy tools used, but seems like they're not doing anything different than any other security researcher, just disassembling binaries, analysing control flow graphs, and trying to find bugs in the code.
It would be worth testing to infect a smart phone with the Pagues and then check where exactly it is making changes in the system by comparing the before and after state
I wonder what the phone manufacturers think about this. Clearly there must be an exploit in Apple's iOS and Google Android for NSO software to work. Has anyone heard anything from them?
Something smells very badly behind this company...it is very important to put light on them damn more than just ask them in polite way...they sell it for damn higher price then its mentioned... but why they sell it?

Why is covered by isreal official state bodies but it is working in very high sensitive area as bussinnes company. Please put more light to it....it smells damn bad.
Well if it was Pegasus it would not have infiltrated his phone with a text message, its known as a 'no-click' spyware, meaning just needing your number in order to infect your device and take full control of all its functions.
I don't know if it is Pegasus or some other applications, but I am an average U.S. citizen without a criminal record and someone has complete control over my phone and T-MOBILE will not do anything about it. I am a "Targeted Individual", due to Organized Stalking. One time, my tablet called a relative simultaneously showing the inside of his apartment. I didn't call him nor him me, at the time did I have his phone number. He had just moved into his new apartment. Other times when I try to take pictures the camera will blur, and change screens at will. If whomever is listening doesn't like my conversations, the phone will hang up or put the person that I am talking to on hold. Recently, as I was conversations with someone, an Amazon recording came on as if I had called them. Another time I was trying to compel a neighbor's cat to come to me, at the same time a alarm went off on my phone. I have never used an alarm on my phone, of course the cat took off fast.
