Yavanet reports that a journalist and former European Parliament member has filed a formal legal complaint with the Athens prosecutor against representatives of an Israeli company that manufactures surveillance software. According to the filing, the complainant's mobile phone was compromised by the Pegasus spyware in October 2022 and March 2023. The breach was identified through a forensic analysis conducted by a recognized research laboratory at the University of Toronto. The complaint addresses violations of telecommunications privacy, unauthorized access to information systems, and data protection laws, and is now under review by Greek judicial authorities.
