Whoaa! This is Interesting!!
The highly hit/try, P&C, unreliable process which Amnesty Security Lab followed is like this (in short): 1. Hell bunch of logs data collected from temporal correlation between phone logs & Pegasus servers. Finally 50K+ numbers leaked .. #Pegasus 1/
(filtered) as "potentially compromised" but doesn't mean definitely compromised. In order to ensure & run the scan, required a forensic analysis. Now total 67 such 'volunteer' agreed when they got to know about this 'potential hacking'. So the sample is just 67 now. 2/
Forensic conducted on 67. Out of these:
23 found infected
14 not infected, but traces of 'hack attempt'
30 inconclusive due to various reasons.
Now this entire hohulla "credibility" is 34% & 66% is in air that too derived from glass of water sampling rate out of a sea. 3/
Amnesty is same NGO which shutdown their operations in India within 15 days their a/c were freeze after they fail to comply FCRA & PMLA. From source of info to vague methodology to provide report to The Wire Liar, says all OVERHYPE & LARGER CONSPIRACY of story. 4/ #Pegasus

Navlakha a big gamer, usually remain low-light to run their anti-India shops. Currently in prison for Elgar Parishad (just like Stan Swamy), Navlakha alongwith CPI(M) Twitter IT cell Bappaditya Sinha received lakhs of fund from USA (CPC face) through Newsclick. 2/

Q. What clicks in your mind when you think of "Spotify"?
A. MUSIC, & why not, it's just an audio songs app.
NO. It's not just a music app anymore but a rising propaganda machine targeting the youth of the country who are major subscribers base, via their podcasts.
Read on.. 1/
Popular among youngsters, the App grabbed decent footprint (2+mn subs), since launched (Feb19). Music-loving nation & smartphone explosion brought better revenue & branding (got 3x after IND launch), further pushed with 2mn PODCAST hosting. Announced 12 more IND lang in Apr21 2/
The problem is not making business. The problem comes here-
Spotify tied up with The Indian Express for their PODCASTs '3Things'. Now just look at the subject & the narrative they are injecting here in the series. Stan Swamy, Kalita bail, "Ayodhya land scam", "Loni assault", 3/
"Jesuit priest, Human Rights Activist Swamy" was an instrumental think tank of banned CPI (M), a Naxalite org. The armed Maoists remotely led by ppl like Swamy & Navlakha. Bhima Koregaon riots charges are Criminal conspiracy, waging war against India, & several UAPA secs. 1/
10K chargesheet by NIA revealed much more about how Swamy/others mobilize funding, leadership & intellectual support to Maoists in the urban pockets. "Bring Dalit & Muslim forces together all over with militant section of ppl being organised", says his letter seized by NIA. 2/
Besides one transaction evidence of Rs 8Lac from one comrade, NIA recovered several documents related to Naxal literature, propaganda material, urban guerilla war techniques, underground essential, data encryption guide, the constitution of Maoist & other strategy and tactics. 3/
INC handler & hyper RTI activist Saket Gokhale who admits to just 'survive' on crowdfunding, made Rs 76 Lac in a span of 17 months (avg just Rs 4.4Lac/pm)
Read on... 1/n
In Aug-Oct19 he sought donation for filing PIL against PM, collected Rs 5.7 Lac.
In Nov'19 kicked-off another one for 'fighting against BJP/RSS', raised Rs. 22 Lac in just 11 wks. This is when anti-CAA propaganda was raging. Since the link is broken,exact amount is not known. 2/n
Oct'20- farmer 'protest' was rising, he initiated next funding & collected whooping Rs. 48 Lac in 2 months. He claimed to move on other platform on 28Dec'20, citing "payment g/w issue", which eventually ended on 26Jan'21 (coincidently Delhi R!ots day) 3/n
Today we won’t talk about a Rs 3Cr Merc-Maybach GLS600 that Sonu gifted to his son early this week (any generous father would do), parked aside Audi Q7, Merc Benz ML-C3, Porsche Panamera, specially in parallel, he talks something about ‘giving’.
PART 2 (Money🐝Bee) begins- 1/n
Sood, emerged as ‘real-life’ hero (as per cozy media) with his PR & ‘philanthropy’ work through donations. Keeping analysis limited to top few at various platforms by him/close associates, raised some Rs11+ Cr so far, incl. $$ funding. (Pls spend 2min on pic before scrolling) 2/n
1a: Sood's SCF website re-directs on Milaap for FC donors, where funds are being collected in a USA bank a/c then wire to (assuming) Milaap India to SCF or direct to SCF a/c. Neither Milaap nor SCF is FCRA reg. Also routing funds to other a/c is another FCRA violation. 3/n
Overnight ‘Messiah’ Sonu Sood came under the radar for black marketing of COVID-specific drug. While the matter is under investigation (by Hon'ble BOM HC), we have some other behind-the-curtain findings.
This is going to be Three parts long thread.
(co-researcher @vinod1703) 1/n
PR1. SM star Sood’s Twitter followership jumped by whooping 84times in May’20 (7K to 622K), by now he has 7.9Mn, adding 1.2Mn in just May’21 month i.e. avg 41K per day which is, for a perspective, almost double than that of NaMo, RaGa, BigB & Virat's numbers. 2/n
In a couple of months his stardom mushroomed, Sood drifted in oblivion of a larger-than-life Messiah image, 'leveling' himself to the national institution, backed up by his political friends, a section of media, and Bollywood.
