BREAKING NEWS: Dictactor Paul Kagame’s DMI didn’t only hack phones of anti Kagame dissidents, they also tried to hack phones of senior security officers in the greatlakes region. Main targeted countries being Uganda, Burundi and DR Congo.
For the past week, WhatsApp has been warning those affected by an all seeing spyware technology that Rwanda’s DMI was using through a hired Israel firm.
Yesterday, financial times noted, “Powered by a technology built not in Rwanda but in Israel, the calls were a harbinger of Pegasus, an all-seeing spyware so powerful that the Israeli government classifies it as a weapon.
Developed and sold by the Herzlia-based NSO Group, which is part-owned by a UK-based private equity group called Novalpina Capital, Pegasus was designed to worm its way into phones and start transmitting the owner’s location, their encrypted chats, travel plans — and even the voices of people the owners met — to servers around the world.”
