Probe finds former MEP investigating Pegasus was hacked with Pegasus

Former European Parliament member Stelios Kouloglou was repeatedly hacked with Pegasus spyware during his work on the PEGA Committee investigating spyware abuses. Forensic analysis by Citizen Lab found infections on Oct. 21, 2022, and March 6–7, 2023, during critical phases of the investigation. The spyware, linked to NSO Group, could have exposed confidential parliamentary communications and raised concerns about the inquiry's integrity.
