       Reports of #Pegasus found on Pedro Sánchez's phone demonstrate the magnitude of the spyware problem.Hence, I am happy that the European Parliament now provides all Members with the possibility to have their phones checked against Pegasus. As Quaestor responsible for ICT equipment, I was involved in the test phase. Ensuring #cybersecurity is one of my priorities. https://www.politico.eu/article/pegasus-hacking-spyware-spain-government-prime-minister-pedro-sanchez-margarita-robles-digital-espionage-crisis/

       @marcel_kolaja Wouldn't it be better to use GNU/Linux phones with kill switches?And as EP can, make laws ordering mandatory open source firmware for phones and wrist devices able to be used as phones. To allow them to run open source operating systems as GNU/Linux ones. And with mandatory kill switches too. Under "FREEDOM of OS"And perhaps a mandatory hardened IP/PBX open source system, as Asterisk,  with webs with click2call to communicate with the public would also improve ICT security.

       @marcel_kolaja Just a reminder that a country in the EU (Poland) having confirmed access to the program, with reports of usage on opposition members.> It would be unfortunate if Poland's secret services were not equipped with such a surveillance tool.- Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Kaczyński

       Maybe I'm wrong @marcel_kolaja, but I would have thought that the 60+ *verified* attacks against members of #Catalan civil society, including layers, physicians, MEPs, journalists, local politicians and even software developers, would be a *much* more concerning issue.One thing is the spying of heads of state by foreign agents, which is tacitly accepted as part and parcel of geopolitics.Quite another is engaging in attacks against regular citizens and political opponents within the state.Sanchez's defence minister was rather pathetically trying to justify #CatalanGate, days before it transpired she herself had been targeted, along with her prime minister.Mr Sanchez's party voted, along with the right and the far right, against a parliamentary enquiry on #CatalanGate at the same time as demanding an investigation on his own incident.Excuse me, but I think you have the wrong perspective here.

       @marcel_kolaja> possibility to have their phones checked against #Pegasus.Now two technical questions.1. Are we talking a proper #forensic check with preservation and continuity of evidence, suitable for use in court?
