JERUSALEM — Israel’s Defense Ministry on Monday announced that it was tightening supervision over cyber exports — a move that follows a series of scandals involving Israeli spyware company NSO Group. The announcement made no mention of NSO. But it came just days after it was revealed that 11 U.S. State Department employees were hacked with NSO spyware. The employees were all located in Uganda and included some foreign service officers, said a person familiar with the matter, who was not authorized to speak publicly about an ongoing investigation.It was the first known instance of NSO Group’s trademark Pegasus spyware being used against U.S. government personnel.
Pegasus allows its operator to gain access to a target’s mobile phone, including contacts, text messages and real-time communications.
