in november 2020 oh, the 0 arabic contacted the 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 u. e. designed to promote high profile official coordination between the 2 countries. according to leaked reports, it's really a moratti's cyber cooperation developed significantly a run 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 canada . yob, bleakest english. mean the gleam as m. lots with she had well as a,

a very interesting case. it's this company based in the united arab emirates, and they do sort of both a defense as well as often there was this great reporting from a both foreign policy as well as reuters, which looked into their offensive operations, meaning hacking. so what, what do these reports were able to establish is that there was this a group of an essay, former an essay and former cia intelligence officials from the united states that went to go work for the u. e. e government, under the auspices of this company, dark matter. and just to fall into that and, 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. then it's, it's not within our room, our mission, i would like sort of distrust this point is to enable societies on economies to sort of pursue their agenda of smart and safe digital. so the way it would be

concrete to our mission, and you can categorically say the dot mana doesn't spy on you. a citizens. we don't do that. that's not within our capabilities. so categorically we don't do his work . or lion. they're lying, it's the only thing that had get a n o massive data for them. i designed these we mathematical programs. we had no upper limit on the capacity to handle data. not there was no, no problem at trillions. could ryland's 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 total of 2016. based on the experiences of an italian cybersecurity researcher approached by dark matter. the report claimed that dog matter had discussed plans to hack any device it wanted to in the u. e. at the press of a button. the report also cited a number of dark matter. employees who were former

u. s. and s a and intelligence officials. the employees said they were asked to carry out offensive operations under the banner of protecting you ease, national security, dark matter dismissed. the researchers allegations saying it preferred quote, talking reality not fantasy tomato. miss hall met the author of the report. gen mclaughlin, who has investigated the work of dog matter extensively around 2015 the u a. b. 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 u. s. contractors were restricted by us laws. they were drawn by massive salaries. promises of staying in beautiful places, pool villas, yachts even some time. so once some of these employees arrived in, in dark matter,

they were sort of ask 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. and so on, so the agencies would approve it. so that implies that everything that they're doing with his contractors is approved. i think cyber security firm in the regent. dark matter, we're covering the whole of the security. we've also grabbed a lot of people all around the world are not allowed to have dark letters and don't know where i am in santa ana for who and how the sun. i mosher, the supply d v. d. then to summer i didn't mind the senior monitor

within the last few years i returned to i would be for a defense conference. i ducks 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 contractor working for a foreign government means they are now an agent that, that far and government not, not a u. s. agents or, 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 classified act, similar classified activities in another country. means there's foreign spies. now

they're not us citizens. in the couple months after i felt published my 1st story in between publishing my 2nd foreign policy magazine, i was contacted by sort of mysterious source to offer documents that i was never able to verify and who 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 the 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 u. s. 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 sir, that is illegal. i'm not, i'm sure, under title 18 laws of 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. besides it's american staffers, dark matter also employed. x is railey officers in branches in the u. e. cypress, and singapore. the company is reported to have paid millions of dollars for their services. both al jazeera arabic and 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 medina,

shall violet me slay the could elephant all dumb. michelle, me lemme mer. must gold glory no can issue a skill level that love devotional molly the tv and he a multi 6 image the machine but all nozzle. so can you'll silicon e v v. ashley stuck vs. michelle amc a ball mills, sham. east of sure. but on i thought, naked though you innagot darla legged the all u. v m up we're leading shallow z 11th alternately. good politician mark alana scheme. mo, we certainly do see that israel as a hub, a is not in the world than certainly in the region for this sort of cyber technology. and i think, you know, 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, a civil society,

dissidents. 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, at 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 it trying to influence and shape the way that events unfold. ah, i'll just hear arabic contacted many alleged victims of the spyware hucks. they declined to appear in the film for fear of their and their families safety. mcmullen lee. i'm a lawyer, ronnie. the dream is a london based journalist working with a lot of a t. v, her phone was hacked by pegasus spyware, between october 29 and july 2020 their tongue argent. no

handsome in that, that there isn't a lot of d. j niel. how about it is a been all the mom a letter. it did. ok. haiti. what suny beam wants it soon? luckily with them a beer omelette looked it up. okay, there it was up to my mom a 1001 of my heavy. what on it? the facility managing of the bucket? fall island. me and walk article that the, what about the could have been a says you normally the torn ligaments exit. is it seal up here, nika, britney, and knew about an image that just as big as truce yanine or the family stood up like a muffled min. mclean. what's, why it's in front of you in a half a year, but this is a lot of spanish. if you look in oxford, oh, fit manage. i'm sure. listen, he may, if i'm shocked among allah. com the car bigger than the shuttle. but why not?

because then the fearful in one of the home model, there's lots of journalists that get targeted, 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 a little for 150. 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 an 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 that you're 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. old phones have bought or policies on them. and if they had known, they will get patched by apple, an android, and so on. but they're all going to be funny, but it's used on those devices that are unknown yet. and therefore, any device is or that will have a weakness that can be exploited on i'm sure there are organisations away with world looking for those vulnerabilities to exploit in the future. i no doubt it won't happen again. you should the case of when electronic frontier foundation e f f is a u. s. based organization, whose goal is to technically and legally defend journalists and civil society

activists who faced cyber crimes committed by governments. e f. f has documented, arise, and the number of pegasus associated cyber crimes against journalists and activists . working on sensitive cases. we fight against a government abuse of surveillance, bowers and uses. there are inconsistent. we human rights to stand out. and that was using mexico to try to get lag carmen, but he stay with you some very famous embassy at the governor, least in the country. and we have seen on saw the use of n, a sale, pegasus in mexico, that we think activists who were fighting corruption and who are fighting, for instance, a dumping equity as a gasket gains that corporation or that use of, of shook our. and so we have to use these also against many other geometries 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 living on 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 on the, on a fair amount. the county has because those can get him and hopefully only mom i'm but he got a couple in fenway hark thought lee, how can you hear what he n? and i'd either they and then i had them at that level. see i had a little and then

what i'll call the oh wow, what the mean had he should it should have cared leo colonial cam in the lady. come in this lee and whoever vicki lee and with diet, i'm and i can dial s. s e led to feel heavy shotuko who are now and of the coming from us with we be head of the ways you had to live with it can be either opposite and that way. a hello miss leah armstrong wanted to know why the legal liability towards the victims of hacking lies with the manufacturer on the purchaser of the spyware justice. these companies are saying that they only sell these to government and that they only sell it to investigate federal re organized crime bad and they don't sell it. the government school does respect

human rights, but that's the total. yeah. now, and that in those distance, italy are an international law. it's inconsistent in our pin also with their cost additional. oh, many the dancers we have review then the last i personally know involved doesn't so prevents the tele bill, the tourist, the tax law in till september, only due to the availability of such a our intelligence capability. and i am kind of see of a little caught, a just seems a letty thump a stairway, letty tomba, bianco, commercial talk o'clock in san juan b. it looked so half a year were that of on them ordered the unseen. well, at the south. good. what are, i'll it there and then out look ahead of out the i the i'm, we're down to latino. my film. a bad man. you're going on and the who know a little talk about it have yet been 2020 and is really caused band the media from publishing any details about these cases in the interests of protecting israel's

national security. i'll de 0 arabic, contacted the en, eh, so 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 the interview request, al jazeera english, contacted the en, eh, so group to give them the right to reply to allegations made against the company. in this film, they did not respond with coll, collin, in this really should get in. this all is sonia the edible ho willa with the output . with all feel, the connie of the biggest was slade, lola. he, alum, luna, is a must bach warm, awful call is love. the he's medical that was over the development is my leave for be 30. couldn't fall with coma to be he had the is sherika my a lula feel alan hostile, almost all the court. what wall forgot the local melissa alia luma. phillip was over the defense amnesty international also took legal action against

pegasus. the accused party this time was the israeli defense ministry itself being the official body that approves and authorizes the selling of spyware. we are disappointed and 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, shoot, and revoke and so's security license and is really court dismissed the case. i, mr. international said, quote, among whom of evidence was ignored, and called the court. a robber stump to the defense ministers, impunity to human rights violations. my accident to the court decision was obviously disappointment. it was a, it was a very strong judgement. the didn't take into consideration the evidence that we put forward or the legal arguments that we thought were important. and well,

we're disappointed in the judgement. we still think it was a very important case in the growing evidence of and as those misuse of technology or the misuse of and as 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 our technologies like and as i was 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 sick leave late. let's be all to neg id. i bought bagels. i bought in his old be glad to help know. she blame me. goofy me? slightly imaged and squealed of them all goofing below me more. amnesty area to build a limb. sequoia good or live with damage, but they slim key but damage but they saw him dummy view. your mobile bill woven me coming. roneesh louis so on the lava foretell been will spud,

with international human rights standards. but they have a, they have a company in their jurisdiction who is acting outside of the, the legal export license compton, because we the issue leon for tom at all new saw and others whose phones have been hacked. you must, the question is what recourse it'll be fanny, do the huff. i'm a, needless to la cuddy, this sort of evidence does show that your phone was hacked and shows that there was a connection to an a. so 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. over the girl call arguing my law. i law, a lot of laws, old ally in this. elaine, this old reality. natasha lame. she's, i'm with all a collegial mpeg razzles as realization that by old way i, i'll become old gollum laws ultimately cannot. laura will totally be kesley's escape done. big law by at the utility,

and advanced spyware. for tom otto, miss hall, this investigation into his own forms, hacking has been both revealing and alarming. ah was about to a nasty, again in northern iran, a blast noisily wind. and to see once more cold as we start the day, 60 inter. and we won't end the day at 16, so shall on the north mountains. i mean as a by john and for a time,
