PEGASUS PROJECT
PEGASUS PROJECT
With the Pegasus Project, our consortium published a massive investigation. Hundreds of journalists, human rights activists and opposition politicians were targeted by this spyware, setting off a worldwide scandal.
80 journalist partners
17 media outlets
10 countries
The impact of this investigation has been felt worldwide. NSO Group was blacklisted by the US. Elsewhere, the Indian Supreme Court ordered an inquiry into the state’s use of the software, while Mexico arrested an individual on charges of using Pegasus to spy on a journalist.
In order to better understand and represent the shockwaves that followed the publication of the Pegasus Project, Forbidden Stories compiled and summarized all of the available information about the project and its international ramifications in the form of maps containing key statistics, including the number of confirmed victims per country.
