NSO Group Spyware Hacks UN Official and Others in Armenia

Researchers have discovered that journalists, human rights advocates, a United Nations official, and members of civil society in Armenia were hacked by a government using NSO Group's Pegasus spyware. The hacking campaign, which targeted at least a dozen victims from October 2020 to December 2022, appears closely linked to events in the long-running military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan over the contested Nagorno-Karabakh region. This is the first known case of Pegasus being used inside a military conflict. NSO Group has not commented on the new report.
