New Delhi: More than 300 Indian phones were hacked by the Israeli spyware ‘Pegasus’ – only available to governments.

Phone numbers of 2 Indian ministers, 3 major opposition leaders, 40 journalists, Supreme Court Judge, Members of the legal community, government officials, scientists, activists, current and former heads and officials of security organizations, and scores of businesspersons and others have been hacked.

According to The Wire, they will publish the names in the coming days.

The Israeli company, NSO Group, which sells Pegasus, denied the allegations, claimed that it only offers its spyware to “vetted governments” and said it was “considering a defamation lawsuit”.

However, the Indian government has denied involvement in the hacking, saying, “The allegations regarding government surveillance on specific people have no concrete basis or truth associated with it whatsoever.”

The hacking reports surface after the spying scandal is based on a leaked database accessed by Paris-based media non-profit Forbidden Stories and Amnesty International that was shared with a host of publications around the world for a collaborative investigation.
