Using NSO spyware has been illegal in the US since the government banned its import and use back in November...

    It’s a good article, but the title is misleading.

    The FBI paid a company to find a few people’s locations, and they were under the impression that the company would use in-house software, not NSO spyware.

    At no point did the FBI use NSO spyware. Riva Networks did.

      At no point did the US military torture hostages in those blacksites.

      Not sure it matters. The responsibility still lies with the org that paid.

    I wonder how many phones are still vulnerable to Pegasus exploits. Scary that it almost everyone has been vulnerable at some point.

      Yeah… Not to burst your bubble but I don’t think security even exists. At least in USA.

            Why should Reddit have something to do with “Security in China”?
