JERUSALEM — Israel takes enormous pride in its high-tech industry. But one of its star cybersecurity companies, NSO Group, is at the center of an international spying scandal that has concerned U.S. officials, and the Israeli government plays a role.

What To Know About The Spying Scandal Linked To Israeli Tech Firm NSO Ap16238661834594_wide-49724cf4b1bb7a175b678046b402b3a512bc9941-s1100-c50

The Pegasus Project, a consortium of international media outlets, says a leaked list of some 50,000 phone numbers showed that governments around the world sought NSO's cellphone hacking technology Pegasus to spy on people or mark them as potential targets, whether inside or beyond their own borders.

It says the phone numbers selected by governments for surveillance belong to a staggering array of potential targets, including political dissidents, human rights activists, 180 journalists in nearly two dozen countries, a Dubai princess escaping her father, the fiancée of slain Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, and 14 heads of state, including French President Emmanuel Macron.

NSO, no stranger to controversy over its spyware, denies any connection to the list of phone numbers, and insists it sells its technology solely to governments to combat terrorism and serious crime. But outrage from France, questions from the U.S. and intensified global scrutiny on NSO has put the Israeli company — and the Israeli government, which vets the company's sales — on the defensive.
