Summary
Greek politician Stelios Kouloglou, a member of the European Parliament's PEGA Committee investigating the Pegasus spyware, was himself hacked with the same spyware in the fall of 2022. New forensic analysis from Citizen Lab reveals that Kouloglou's iPhone was infected with Pegasus while he was actively investigating its use against politicians, journalists, and business leaders. The incident is described as a direct attack on the rule of law and raises serious concerns about the security of EU officials conducting sensitive investigations into surveillance abuses.
