Dozens of Al Jazeera Journalists Hacked with Israeli Company's Spyware
----------------------------------------------------------------------

A new report has revealed at least 36 journalists at Al Jazeera were
hacked using spyware made by the Israeli firm NSO. The hack was
uncovered by the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, which tracks
use of the software known as Pegasus that allows users to remotely
exploit and monitor hacked devices. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab
Emirates are believed to have been behind the attacks.
