Israeli spy firm hitting Saudi dissidents with spyware

Linking because, yeah, the Saudis are evil slime, but also because a lot of news organizations are reporting this based on Thomas Brewster's work, without citing him: Exclusive: Saudi Dissidents Hit With Stealth iPhone Spyware Before Khashoggi's Murder

Almasarir would be the second confirmed Saudi target of Pegasus in the U.K., alongside political activist Yahya Assiri. Both are telling Forbes their stories of assaults on their digital lives for the first time. As previously reported, Pegasus has spread its wings further to attack opponents of the Saudi regime. Other attacks hit an employee working on Saudi-related issues for Amnesty International, a human rights NGO founded in London, and activist Omar Abdulaziz from Quebec, Canada. And Assiri reveals to Forbes that like Abdulaziz he was in frequent contact with the late writer Khashoggi, who was infamously killed at the Saudi Arabian embassy in Istanbul in October.
