Espionage Against the European Parliament
Summary
Citizen Lab's report documents the Pegasus spyware infections targeting MEP Stelios Kouloglou during the PEGA Committee's work, including infection dates in Oct 2022 and Mar 2023, associated Apple threat notifications, and potential data leakage of confidential parliamentary communications. It frames this as a worrying example of mercenary spyware impacting democratic processes and offers recommendations for EU institutions to investigate, screen for spyware, and improve threat notification mechanisms.
