Israel taps Pegasus spyware maker to track hostages in Gaza Strip

Israel is reportedly enlisting the help of spyware companies, including NSO Group and Candiru, to track hostages in the Gaza Strip. The companies are being asked to upgrade their spyware capabilities to meet the needs of Israel’s security forces. Several software firms, including Rayzone and Paragon, are collaborating on the requests and offering their services for free. The involvement of NSO Group and Candiru has raised concerns due to their controversial track records.
