Miss Universe Pageant 2021 Will Go On Despite Omicron Variant In Israel: What To
Know

Israel laid down the law Monday on the use by foreign governments of its cyber
exports, after the private Israeli developer of Pegasus spyware became engulfed
in scandal abroad.

The defence ministry-linked agency for military exports, in a statement,
specified that a foreign state seeking a cyber or intelligence system must only
use it to combat terrorism and "serious crimes".

Smartphones infected with Pegasus spyware developed by the private Israeli firm
NSO Group are essentially turned into pocket spying devices.

This allows the user to read the target's messages, look through their photos,
track their location and even turn on their camera without them knowing.



US authorities last month blacklisted NSO by restricting exports to it from
American groups over allegations the Israeli firm "enabled foreign governments
to conduct transnational repression".

An updated Israeli end user certificate issued Monday, to be signed by buyers,
listed terrorism as including offences committed with the aim of "seriously
intimidating a population" or "unduly compelling a government" through crimes
such as hostage taking and potentially fatal attacks upon a person's life.

"An act of expressing an opinion or criticism, as well as presenting data
regarding the state, including any of its institutions, shall not, in and of
itself, constitute a Serious Crime," or terrorism, the certificate says.

Violation of the provisions would result in the spyware being restricted or
disconnected, the agency warned.

"The system shall not be used, under any circumstances, to inflict harm on an
individual or a group of individuals, merely due to their religion, sex or
gender, race, ethnic group, sexual orientation, nationality, country of origin,
opinion, political affiliation, age or personal status."

The military exports agency said the provisions follow "a series of measures"
taken in the last few years in which Israel "approves the export of cyber
systems solely to governments for the purposes of investigation and prevention
of terrorism and crime."



In the latest in a string of commercial cases, Apple last month sued the Israeli
spyware maker, seeking to block NSO Group from targeting the more than one
billion iPhones in circulation.

NSO has consistently denied any wrongdoing and defended use of its software.

In July a collaborative investigation by The Washington Post, The Guardian, Le
Monde and other media outlets raised privacy concerns and revealed the
far-reaching extent to which the NSO software could be misused.

They investigated a data leak of up to 50,000 phone numbers believed to have
been identified as people of interest by clients of NSO since 2016.

The numbers included those of activists, journalists, business executives and
politicians around the world.
