Dubai ruler used Pegasus spyware to hack princess’s phone, U.K. court rules (original) (raw)

The ruler of Dubai used NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware to hack the phones of his estranged wife, Princess Haya, and the closest members of her inner circle, a U.K. high court judgment released Wednesday shows.

The ruling offers strong confirmation for key elements of the Pegasus Project, an investigation published in July by The Washington Post and 16 other news organizations into NSO Group, the Israeli surveillance giant that licenses its powerful spyware to government agencies around the world.
