India targeted a phone which was earlier in Prime Minister Imran Khan’s use through an Israeli firm’s malware, Haaretz reported Monday, igniting fears of widespread privacy and rights abuses.
Several Pakistani officials, Kashmiri freedom fighters, Indian Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, and even an Indian supreme court judge were targetted, the publication said.
Sources informed Geo News that India tried to tap the Federal Cabinet members’ calls and messages through the spyware, prompting Pakistan to develop new software for its federal ministers.
Following the development, a high-level meeting of the civil and military leadership was called which will decide a future course of action against India’s spying attempt.
