Poland admits use of Pegasus spyware
The Hindu
Opposition leaders have alleged that Pegasus may have influenced the 2019 election results
Poland's powerful ruling party leader admitted that the country bought Israeli spyware but dismissed claims it was used against the opposition in extracts from an interview published on Friday.
Allegations about the use of Pegasus software have rocked Poland in recent weeks in a scandal that has drawn comparisons to the Watergate investigation that led to U.S. president Richard Nixon's resignation in 1974.
Pegasus can turn smartphones into pocket spying devices, allowing the user to read the target's messages, track their location, and even turn on their camera and microphone without their knowledge.
