While Pegasus Was Under Investigation, It Was Used Against an EP Committee Member

European politician and journalist Stelios Kouloglou was reportedly hacked with Pegasus while he was serving on the European Parliament committee investigating abuses of the spyware.

Citizen Lab confirmed attacks in 2022 and 2023.

Researchers say the operation exploited a zero-click iPhone vulnerability, requiring no action from the user.

Messages, chats, geolocation data and photos may have been exposed.

The case is a stark reminder: tools meant to fight crime must not become instruments for surveilling journalists and lawmakers.
