Pegasus infected Boris Johnson's office too

Downing Street and Foreign Office computer systems in Great Britain have allegedly been infected with spyware, according to a Canadian investigative group. Citizen Lab says it has informed officials that the alleged Pegasus spy, which was discovered in 2020 and 2021, relates to the Downing Street incident linked to operators in the United Arab Emirates.

Pegasus is sold by Israeli company NSO Group to governments to conduct surveillance through telephone infestations. The company has denied the allegations, saying they are false and could not have happened.

Citizen Lab, which tracks electronic surveillance, said in 2020 and 2021 that it notified the UK government that networks belonging to both 10 Downing Street and the Foreign Office and commonwealth were suspected of being infected using Pegasus spyware.

Pegasus allows governments to take control of people's phones, extract data and conduct deepened surveillance of them. The NSO group has always defended its use, saying it is sold only to elected governments for legitimate law enforcement and intelligence purposes, such as against criminals or terrorists.

The latest claims are linked to an investigation by the New Yorker magazine which looked at targeting individuals campaigning for Catalonia's independence from Spain.

Citizen Lab said it identified at least 65 targeted or infected individuals, including members of the European Parliament, Catalan presidents, lawmakers, lawyers and members of civil society organisations.

The New Yorker said a number of official phones were tested in the UK, including those of the prime minister, but it was not possible to determine which device was infected or what - if any data - was taken.

Citizen Lab said the alleged Foreign Office infections were believed to be linked to Pegasus operators in the United Arab Emirates, India, Cyprus and Jordan.
