Amnesty International asked Israeli government responsible for the attack that hit WhatsApp
News24xx.com - The Amnesty International agency asked the Israeli government to take responsibility for spyware attacks that hit WhatsApp. They have to make sure the NSO Group, the company that is believed to make the software, is not left without giving a punishment.
NSO is known to produce sophisticated software called Pegasus to spy on cellphones and could be used by various governments. Quoted from Reuters, Amnesty requested the NSO Group export license is canceled. In addition, Israel is also expected to have to be harder about providing export licenses for products that have the potential to endanger human rights.
WhatsApp has said that the software attacks its application with the aim of gaining access to human rights activists. Amnesty also considered that NSO has been repeatedly denied the responsible of how its software was used and for this reason and only the Israeli government that can punish it.
NSO itself has dismissed its involvement in the attack on WhatsApp even though maybe the attackers are using their technology. The NSO called the technology licensed to their governing body which would decide the target of the attack.
"Under no circumstances should NSO be involved in operations or identify targets using the technology, which is only operated by intelligence services or law enforcement (from a country)" the NSO Group wrote in a statement.
