Iltija: My phone hacked by Pegasus spyware, Modi weaponizing technology against critics
Srinagar: In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, Iltija Mufti, daughter of PDP president Mehbooba Mufti, has said that her phone has been hacked by the Pegasus spyware procured by the Modi-led Indian government from Israel.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Iltija revealed this in a post on X, stating, “Got an Apple alert that my phone’s been hacked by Pegasus which GOI (Government of India) has admittedly procured & weaponised to harass critics & political opponents.”
She further said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) was targeting women leaders who do not conform to their agenda. “BJP shamelessly snoops on women only because we refuse to toe their line. How low will you stoop?” Iltija added.
The Pegasus spyware, developed by the Israel-based cybersecurity company NSO Group, can take control of mobile phones with just a missed call on WhatsApp.
