who's in november 2020 i'll just, you know, arabic contacted a top is really cybersecurity official to find out more about data and cyber cooperation between israel and the u. e. the official refused to speak on camera, but said he had just returned from an official business trip to the us. designed to promote high profile official coordination between the 2 countries. according to lead to a port is really moratti's cyber cooperation developed significantly around this time. the arrangement seemed to be that full security coordination between the 2 countries allowed and exchange of information. while the u. e invested millions of us dollars in the israeli spyware. the benefits what allegedly governed by rules set by the israeli intelligence services of carlo j yob. leah see

milly, she mean the gleam of the lot. so she had was it as a corner subject, gave me to her lesson hon. him couldn't zoe, me a whole ever holy shove. she is. she has siblings me. any money, she will not be loot. a skeeter volt darling now said the medical c my it is a gum. let them in your solution. the no longer daily. some bullshit mission will hell. loggia lava, so deep or me wheeled all in the hallway or let me know the herald ball gum. she ish hush ah, she, she said she was in a good novak la cove, l. a r e z my names along the line and i got a fishing wish and they gave me. she was using the v me by of a little bit of dark matter isn't emma rattie

company that he's seen as the main player in the u. e. cybersecurity market. dark matter. it's very interesting case. the company, based in the united arab emirates, and they do sort of both defense as well as often there was this great reporting from both foreign policy as well as writers which looked into their offensive operations, meaning hacking. so what, what these reports were able to establish is that there was this group of n, s, a former, an essay and former cia intelligence officials from the united states that went to go work for the u. e. government, under the auspices of this company, dark matter and just to fall into that and be clear, dark matter was not employing former an essay officials to spy on americans because that would obviously be a federal crime. united states. and we don't do that. it's not within our mission and i would like sort of distress at this point is to enable societies and

economies to sort of pursue that agenda of smart and safe digital. so the way it would be country to our mission, and you can categorically say that dark matter doesn't spy on you, a citizens. we don't do that. that's not within our capabilities. so currently we don't do this work there. lion, they're lying. it's the only thing that can handle massive data for them. i designed these mathematical programs. we had no upper limit on the capacity to handle data. not there was no, no problem, ad trillions, quadrillion of data, doesn't matter. we had no mathematical limit that i could see the american investigative website. the intercept published a report in a tober 2016 based on the experiences on italian cybersecurity research and approached by dark matter. the report claimed that doug matter had discussed plans to hack any device it wanted to in the u. e. at the press

a button. the report also cited a number of dark matter. employees who were former u. s. s a and intelligence officials. the employees said they were asked to carry out offensive operations under the banner of protecting u. e. z. national security. dark matter dismissed. the researchers allegations saying it preferred quote, talking reality not fantasy tama on this harm at the author report, jenna mclaughlin, who has investigated the work of dog matter extensively around 2015 the u. a. and it's company essentially linked pretty closely to its own defense defense services. dark matter. wanted to get some of those employees into their own roof. so they could do a lot more things more freely because some of those us contractors were restricted by us laws. they were drawn by massive salaries promises of staying in beautiful places, pool villas, yachts,

even sometime. so once some of these employees arrived in dark matter, they were sort of asked questions about how to use those skills in an offensive manner. in order to do that, they would also have to have their see, the corner it says would be held by, by that contractor in a skip. but the approval for those the clarence would come from an essay that was against the if it was human. so on, so that agencies would approve it. so that implies that everything that they're doing with his contractors is approved. i think cybersecurity firm, in the regent, dark matter, we're covering the whole spectrum of security. we've also grabbed a lot of people all around the world. moto, very, the melissa came from had dark letters and don't know where he am in santa ana for who are the son i module the supply the be then to summer didn't mind the senior

monitor within the last few years i returned to i would be for a defense conference ibex and i got the chance to speak to some of my sources and others that i've met since. and they told me that all the negative attention on dark matter from my reporting and subsequent reporting from writers and others really drew a lot of attention that the royal family was not interested in. and as a result of that, members of the royal family, extremely high ranking officials sort of went to dark matter and said, you need to change the names of this, remove it, get it out of here. be a lot more discrete. i think from my perspective, ok, having a contractor us contract or working for a foreign government means they are now an agent that, that foreign government not, not a u. s. agent. and having them come from a place like in a say where they're dealing with classified activities and then going over and

assisting in a classified act, similar classified activities in another country, means their foreign spies. now they're not us citizens. in a couple months after i felt publish my 1st story in between publishing my 2nd at foreign policy magazine, i was contacted by sort of mysterious source to offer documents that i was never able to verify and who had been telling me that within the company they had already been debating whether or not to hack me, but i mean years later the intercept, after i had left confirmed that the intercept was a target of view, a government according to a number of reports dog matter, try to hack the intercept website. a report published by the intercept in june 2019 said that dog might have brought x national security agency hackers and other us intelligence and military veterans to compromise the computers of political dissidence at home and abroad, including american citizens. according

to the intercept, dog matter headquarters is located in this building in abu dhabi. they had a problem analyzing data on us citizens from another country as a us citizen. see. so that's, that is illegal and i'm sure, under title, 18 laws governing, you know, classified material and classified activities. later on, citizen lab demonstrated that dog matter was the main operator of the israeli pegasus spyware. in the u. e. z. besides, it's american staffers, dog matter, also employed ex israeli officers in branches in the u. e. cypress, and singapore. the company is reported to have paid millions of dollars for their services. both odyssey or odyssey or english, contacted dark matter and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the

allegations made in the film. they declined to comment to either request. i say madina shall violet, me slay the telephone, both of them. michelle, me them or must gold gold know can this? yes, kim level did love the little molly, the tv on the a multi 6 image the machine, but the nozzle, so you'll select tv via me stuff via me still a bowl most sham shoe. but all nozzle negative, negative. negative. always be my politic shallow zeal. my torture li, good politician, mark of a shame. but all we certainly do see that israel as a hub if not in the world and certainly in the region for this sort of cyber technology. and i think one of the things that we're going to see more and more countries like the u. e that have these big ambitions in cyberspace are going to try and replicate that sort of talent pipeline in their countries. it's very scary,

especially when the targets are journalists, civil society, dissidence, these sorts of people being spied on by foreign governments or their own government . in some cases, it's really shocking, and i think it's an abuse of the spyware. the reason that the governments are interested in spying on them is for intelligence purposes, to figure out what they're up to, what they might do next. and if they can figure out what someone's doing, what they're about to do, then they can put a little bit of pressure on people and try and influence and shape the way that events unfold. ah, i'll just be contacted. many alleged victims of these spyware facts. they declined to appear in film for fear of their and their families safety. mcmillan, me, me a voice. ronnie, a greedy is a london based journalist working with a lot of the tv. her phone was hacked by pegasus spyware. between october 29 and

july 2020 they had been pursuing a lot of the she knew how about it. it's been the momma lead to dr. hayes. she was sunni when i went, sits in love with them a bit and it was on the mom of my son and one of my heavy what on the mean engine the fall on me and want to talk with them. what about the button says you don't want to leave the torn ligaments and can exit if it's filled up in the home button. in the bottom is just as biggest truce jani. my family to sit up like in my food min mclean. my that's why it's in front of me in a half a year, but this is a lot of spanish if you look in oxford. oh, fit my national listen. he may. if i'm shocked at the mom,

i live calm the car bigger than the shuttle, but why the mom couldn't leave a fearful him out of the home? she muttered. there's lots of journalists that get targeted and hacked, but for fewer of them are willing to come forward and tell their stories. so i think that, you know, if you were to look at some of the top media organizations in the world, maybe you'd find other other instances of people getting hacked or targeted. you know, we had a case of course, back in 2018, where the bay route bureau chief of the new york times been hubbard received a text message linked to pegasus spyware, on his phone. my, how did the on the yet what fixed it up? so the question is, with this advanced technology, how can people ensure their devices a safe and wish pegasus for, for example, it would have been very hard to find out that your phone had been hacked. the best thing you can do is keep your phone up to date. if you have always install the

updates, when your phone says it's time to update. if you get a text message with the link that you're not expecting, don't click on that link. if you get an email with a link or a file here expecting, don't click on that link. don't open that file. if you do have something very sensitive to talk about, the best thing to do is to leave your phone at home and go on a walk. oh, fun have on. and they said no, they will get patched by apple, an android and so on. but there are going to be fun abilities on those devices that are unknown yet. and therefore, any device is that will have a weakness that can be exploited, don't i'm sure there are organizations away over the world looking for those funded realty to exploit in the future. and no doubt it won't happen again. it's just a case of one electronic frontier foundation e f. f is

a us based organization whose goal is to technically and legally defend journalists and civil society activists who face cyber crimes committed by governments. e f. f has documented, arise in the number of pegasus associated cyber crimes against journalists and activists. working on sensitive cases, we fight against a government, a view of surveillance bowers uses that are inconsistent. we humans right to start . and that was using mexico to thought of it like coming pretty say, which is a very famous in the, in the country. and we have seen also the use of the sale, pay gases in mexico or targeting activists who were fighting corruption and who are fighting for a camping as well as against corporation or the use of of shook our so we have seen these also against many other job my youth who are doing get their

work. in my work, we have studied similar mobile phones against journalists in conflicts and human rights. defenders and opposition was in conflict and civilians in lebanon, and on the border of lebanon in syria being spied upon by their various governments in israel. loya, my husband represents a number of phone hacking victims who have decided to file lawsuits against the israeli, an esl group family on a farm eltic because those can get him and hopefully only mom i'm but he got a couple in fenway hook thought lee, how can you hear what he n and either they and then i had them a dad that i hope to see had

a little cotton. what are the well, what the mean had the a show, the kia should again leo colonial camp. and the lady come in this li, however, vickie lee and with diet. i'm and i can dial s s e led to have a shuttle who are not coming up. i'm going to be head of a way to live with that can be on the opposite. and that is the way, a hello miss. leah almost wanted to know why the legal liability towards victims of hacking lies with the manufacturer on the purchase of the spyware. just this companies are saying that they only sell these to government and that they only sell it to investigate thoroughly

organized crime. but as they don't sell it, the government's who don't respect human rights, but that's not true. you know. and that in go systems, it's me, i learned national law is inconsistent in our opinion. also with a constitution only needed cancers. we have to review the, the law i personally know involve doesn't solve events. the terrible attorneys to texts low interest only yields to the availability of such intelligence. capability name can to fear of a little caught a jesse ma lettie. it's a legitimate vehicle. commercial thought group in san juan. look for half a year. was that of, on the audiences seen well at the sub to what all that and then look at. i have got down the living. oh my home about matt, you're going on and i know a little talk about it in 2020 and is really caused by the media from publishing

any details about these cases in the interest of protecting israel's national security. i'll just 0 arabic, contacted the n s a group, requesting an interview with senior management to give them the right to reply to allegations made against the company. in this film, the company sent a short reply, declining b, interview request. how's your english contact d n a. so group to give them the right to reply to allegations made against the company. in this film, they did not respond. wolf can come on in the plea, shut to get in this only so leah hannibal, however, with the output with all feel the county of the biggest was a don't know if he island doing it in the most buck. warm will also call ways of the fees because i would love to develop communities i left for the daily cool file with coma to be had the shut again. my a p l. allen. house a lot,

almost all the court. what was forgot formally? so we're going to develop amnesty international also took legal action against pegasus dick hughes party this time was the israeli defense ministry itself being the official body that approves and authorizes the selling of spyware . we are disappointed. we will have to see what the court decides with the ruling on the case itself. now we hope that the court will decide the way it should and revoke, and so security like this and his rating court dismissed the case. amnesty international said, quote, a mountain of evidence was ignored and called the court rubber stunt to the defense ministries, impunity to human rights violations. my reaction to the court decision was obviously disappointment. it was a, it was a very strong judgement that didn't take into consideration the evidence that we

put forward, or the legal arguments that we felt were important. and, well, we are disappointed in the judgement. we still think it was a very important case. in the growing evidence of those misuse of technology or the misuse of those technologies by our clients. and we hope that by bringing this case and supporting this case, we're bringing to attention the very serious issues and potential human rights impacts for technologies like and as those pegasus and others that are being used with impunity around the world by repressive governments and governments who have a terrible human rights record. a c clean. late later we ought to neg id. bought bagels, bought in his own burglar. no shit, boy on the goofy. misaligned liam squealed them on him. by no means more amnesty. i will tell alia squiggle on the spot. they slim key, but they on the spot, they saw him. w, you'll move all below mclean, runny ashley,

so on the lava foothill been more responded to the old gala or the most medium lose the bishop. she's a michelle. it thing to be the whole low michelin do not belong to me, but not least of a y in yon. how does your english contacted the governance of israel kingdom of saudi arabia and the united out of emmett and offered them the opportunity to respond to all the allegations made in the film? they did not respond. i actually would also like to know a little bit more about what happened in the rejection. i think there's a few different things at play here. one is that it's very difficult to know the relationship between the ministry of defense and, and i, so there seems to be a lot of crossover at high level staff. the ministry of defense in israel is the, is the ministry that approves all exports. and basically, our case was saying either the ministry of defense is not giving export licenses in

line with international human rights standards. or they are giving exports in line with international human rights standards. but they have, they have a company in their jurisdiction who is acting outside of the legal export license compton. because we leon for tom on the star and others whose phones have been hacked. the question is, what recourse if any, do they have? just all of this sort of evidence don't show that your phone was hacked and shows that there was a connection to an s o group. if you wanted to bring a legal action, i will say that there are other targets that have been engaged in legal process in israel, in cyprus, and most recently in the u. k. of a b l call arguing la la la, in this elaine this over to national amc, i'm would totally collegial mpeg dozens of the bio a couple of them last week,
