Two months after several politicians and journalists claimed they had received alerts from Apple about “state-sponsored attackers”, an investigation by Amnesty International’s Security Lab in partnership with the Washington Post has now said that at least two journalists in India were recently targeted with Pegasus spyware on their iPhones.
Siddharth Varadarajan, founding editor of The Wire, and Anand Mangnale, the South Asia editor at The Organised Crime and Corruption Report Project, were among those recently targeted with Pegasus, with “the latest identified case” in October, it said.
