Hungarian lawmaker Lajos Kosa, who chairs the parliament’s Committee on Defense and Law Enforcement, acknowledged yesterday that Hungary had purchased Pegasus spyware from Israeli company NSO Group, Deutsche Welle reports. Kosa, who is a member of the ruling Fidesz Party, insisted the government had not used the software to spy on Hungarians (which means they admit they might have violated privacy human rights against non-Hungarians, such as foreign investors, journalists, humanitarian organizations and foreign diplomats).
