Israeli Pegasus Spyware Case Receives Funding

The United Kingdom’s Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) has teamed up with
Bindmans LLP to challenge potential misuse of the Pegasus software
platform. Pegasus operates as a spyware surveillance utility that was
originally developed in Israel. GLAN raised pre-litigation funding from the
Digital Freedom Fund. Bindmans is now pursuing additional litigation
investment for GLAN’s claim on the CrowdJustice fundraising platform.

According to ThePegasusFiles.com <https://www.thepegasusfiles.com/>, mobile
phone users in the United Kingdom fell prey to international governments
who engaged Pegasus as a surveillance tool that automatically downloaded
‘zero click’ technology. According to GLAN, mobile phone users are
generally unaware of Pegasus’ installation on their device. The covert
software is designed to record phone behavior including location data, SMS
messages, scan photos/videos, emails with read/write privileges.

In 2020, Amnesty International originally broke the Pegasus spyware story,
releasing 50,000 mobile phone numbers believed to be targeted by the
software. This prompted an investigation into privacy violations by
Pegasus’ developers. The Pegasus Project was launched in 2021 seeking
damage awards from the malware’s proprietors.
