Interesting. @guardian reports that Estonia was told by Israel not to use spyware Pegasuses againts Russian targets back in august of 2019 theguardian.com/world/2022/mar… #estonia 🧵 1/5
Estonian MoD declined to comment. This reminded me of @citizenlab work from 2020 about NSO's other software - Circles. While Citizen Lab only claimed that Estonian state used the software I dug deeper with my sources and uncovered interesting things 2/5
Although the public IP associated with Circles use in Estonia was tied with @haridusmin's EENet in reality the IP 's owner was @e_riik. EENet found out about it thanks to Citizen Lab's work and asked RIA what are they doing 3/5
RIA declined to give an answer to them so EENet closed their connection. Interestingly in an official statement @e_riik said to me that the actual user of the IP was one of their partners digi.geenius.ee/eksklusiiv/ria… 4/5
I hope that said RIA's partners didn't use neither Circles nor Pegasus in a manner like @washingtonpost claimed last summer it has been used washingtonpost.com/investigations… 5/5
