Spyware and mercenary hacking. British officials warned that a more unpredictable firm targeted thousands of people annually using monitoring software and hackers-for-hire.

GCHQ’s National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC) claimed mercenary hackers marketed government hacking services on Wednesday.

“There is another new front opening, as we see more and more adversaries able to buy and sell sophisticated cyber tools and spyware like Pegasus,” senior British minister Oliver Dowden told an NCSC conference in Belfast on Wednesday.

“These are the types of tools that we used to only see in a handful of powerful state actors, and which can cause serious damage,” Dowden added.

NSO said their technology was “for the sole purpose of fighting crime and terror.”

Reuters said the company’s spyware targeted American and EU diplomats’ phones.

Journalists and scholars found multiple transgressions.

Citizen Lab reported Tuesday that NSO used new hacking ways to steal into Mexican human rights advocates’ iPhones in 2022.

The NCSC warned that mercenary spies and hackers “raise the likelihood of unpredictable targeting or unintentional escalation.”

Research helps surveillance businesses comply.

Last Monday, NSO General Counsel Shmuel Sunray wrote to the American Bar Association to reject a resolution banning commercial spyware’s purchase, sale, or usage, arguing that firms with an “established human rights compliance programme”—like NSO—should be exempt.
