Pegasus Spyware Used Widely by Morocco — A Warning for India's Civil Society
The Guardian·Sunday, 19 July 2026
A former member of Morocco's domestic intelligence service has revealed that the country used Pegasus spyware — made by Israel's NSO Group — from 2017 to target journalists, human rights defenders, French politicians, and Spanish officials. The whistleblower provided what the Guardian calls an unprecedented look inside a state spyware operation. Targets included both domestic and foreign figures.
Why It Matters
India has previously been linked to Pegasus use against journalists, activists, and opposition figures, so this whistleblower account adds fresh context to an ongoing debate about surveillance in democracies.
