NEW! Being a journalist in the Middle East & North Africa was challenging in 2022, thanks to a dramatic decline in press freedom.

🧵According to findings by @R3Dmx, with support from @citizenlab, journalists & human rights defenders in Mexico were hacked using Pegasus spyware as recently as 2021, even after the country’s government said it was no longer going to use the software. buff.ly/3y6I0e3
🧵Just last month, @direkt36 reported that Hungary's parliament had years ago allowed the purchase of Pegasus without a public procurement process.

The spyware was then used to monitor journalists, politicians & more. buff.ly/3Emrv1t @AndrasSzab @panyiszabolcs @andraspe
🧵#PegasusProject, initially published by 17 media orgs & coordinated by @FbdnStories in partnership w/ @amnesty, revealed >50,000 potential victims of Pegasus spyware, including journalists & heads of state.
