“hacker-for-hire” firm? Hacking should be a capital offense. Get caught, you die. No exceptions, no excuses. Same for people who fund virus creation.

The researchers said the discovery also exposes — again — that NSO’s business model involves selling spyware to governments that will abuse it, not just to law enforcement officials chasing cybercriminals and terrorists, as NSO claims.

“If Pegasus was only being used against criminals and terrorists, we never would have found this stuff,” said Citizen Lab researcher Bill Marczak

More evidence why backdoors made or discovered and touted for use by government agencies are ALWAYS a bad idea because they will get leaked and used by bad actors outside of government and bad actors inside governments’ own agencies. It’s inevitable!
