## Resource

A European Parliament committee member and former politician, Stelios Kouloglou, was secretly hacked with Pegasus spyware — the first known case of its kind targeting a member of his specific committee. The attack, confirmed by Citizen Lab in 2022 and 2023, exploited a zero-click flaw, compromising his phone without interaction — stealing texts, photos, and more — even while he was hospitalized. The same email used in the hack points to NSO Group’s involvement, raising alarms about state-sponsored surveillance. Kouloglou, calling it “reckless” and a threat to democracy, plans to sue NSO Group, now under global scrutiny and newly backed by U.S. investors, as he fights to defend press freedom, human rights, and the rule of law.
