Forensic tests revealed that at least some of those named on the list had their phones hacked by the spyware that Israeli company NSO Group says it only sells to “vetted governments�?.The leaks raise questions about cyber surveillance of Indian citizens, particularly in light of the government’s failure to deny whether it has purchased licences for the Pegasus hacking software after similar revelations in the past. A government statement on Sunday once again failed to categorically address questions of whether any Indian agencies had used the spyware.
