Espionage Against the European Parliament: Member of Committee Investigating Spyware Hacked with Pegasus - The Citizen Lab
- Key Findings Former Member of the European Parliament, Stelios Kouloglou, was repeatedly hacked with NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware while on the committee investigating Pegasus spyware abuses.
- Kouloglou was infected during key periods of PEGA committee activity, and the spyware would have likely captured non-public information about committee activities, possibly breaching EU parliamentary confidentiality and privilege frameworks.
- We are not attributing these infections to a particular government at this time, and found no indications that the Greek Government is responsible.
