A former Moroccan intelligence officer has revealed extensive use of Pegasus spyware by the country’s security services since 2017. The whistleblower alleges the software was deployed against a wide range of targets, including journalists and human rights activists. French politicians and high-ranking Spanish officials, including cabinet ministers and police officers, were also reportedly targeted. Pegasus, developed by the NSO Group, grants operators complete access to a mobile phone, compromising personal data like messages, photos, and emails. The spyware can even remotely activate the device’s microphone and camera for surveillance purposes. This disclosure provides unprecedented insight into the scale of alleged state-sponsored hacking originating from Morocco. The revelations raise serious concerns about privacy and freedom of the press.
