Spain: 2021 spyware attack targeted prime minister's phone

Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez’s mobile phone was breached twice in May 2021, and Defense Minister Margarita Robles’ device was targeted once the following month, Presidency Minister Félix Bolaños said Monday in a hastily convened news conference.

He said the breaches resulted in a significant amount of data being obtained, and that reports detailing the hacking have been transferred to Spain’s National Court for further investigation. “We have no doubt that this is an illicit, unauthorized intervention,” Bolaños said. “It comes from outside state organisms and it didn’t have judicial authorization.”

Spain’s Socialist-led government is under pressure to explain why the cellphones of dozens of people connected to the separatist movement in the northeastern Catalonia region were infected with Pegasus between 2017 and 2020, according to Citizen Lab, a cybersecurity group of experts affiliated with the University of Toronto.

Does it start with Pega and ends with Sus, ask Indian government they have a licensed copy

Well, that can't be good.

Yep the mossad at it again. I’m sure they’ll claim it’s for security purposes

This is big news

Good to hear. The public must know what lies they hold

Most likely the work of the Americans

Blatant lie to cover up serious issues against the government: Labour day, the opposition's accusation that the government were spying them, etc. Clever counter attack though.

Morocco has joined the call, literally.
