Poland's new prime minister, Donald Tusk, has revealed documentation showing that the previous government illegally used the Pegasus spyware to target a wide range of hacking victims. The spyware, which provides complete access to mobile devices, was allegedly used under the right-wing Law and Justice party's rule.
