A lawyer who was allegedly hacked with government-grade #spyware made by the infamous surveillance tech maker #NSO Group
has filed a complaint in court against two of the company’s founders and one executive.

It appears to be the first attempt to hold the people behind a spyware company accountable for hacking crimes,
rather than just the company itself. 

On Wednesday, the Barcelona-based human rights nonprofit #Iridia announced that it had filed a complaint in a Catalan court earlier this week
accusing NSO’s founders Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio, as well as Yuval Somekh, an executive of two affiliate companies, of hacking crimes. 

Iridia represents lawyer Andreu Van den Eynde, an attorney and university professor who specializes in cybersecurity.

According to a 2022 investigation by Citizen Lab,
a nonprofit that has been investigating government spyware for more than a decade,
Van den Eynde was among the victims of a wide-ranging hacking campaign against at least 65 #Catalans linked to the region’s attempts to become independent from Spain,
which was carried out using NSO’s #Pegasus software.

Amnesty International independently confirmed Citizen Lab’s findings.

2-2 at the half. #Catalans have more than held their own, which they've needed to do because they are the foreigners playing in England in an English league against the English with an English officiating team. Less said about a few of those decisions, the better. Expecting the Dragons to win based on what I've seen, despite the obstacles they're facing.

In from an afternoon at the brewery - let's gloss over just how shit-faced my wife is right now - and in time for the #SuperLeague Grand Final on TV. We've stayed at a hotel where both #CatalansDragons and #WiganWarriors were staying before and, based somewhat on that, we'll be cheering on #Catalans tonight. Their players were fun, ordering weird omelettes and amusing the hotel staff. Wigan's manager was a complete prick. That makes a difference.

Aquí mateix, a Califòrnia: Santa Barbara fou fundada per un català, Gaspar de Portolà, al servei del rei espanyol en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaspar nascut a Os de Balaguer.

El seu successor fou un altre català Pere Fages en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_ nascut a Guissona.

El religiós més cabdal de la regió fou un altre català, Juníper Serra ca.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Junípe i també un altre, Joan Crespí en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_C

Tu ho sabies, això? Els #catalans no coneixem la nostra pròpria història.

Durant la #batalla, la manca d'escales ni #artilleria de les tropes hispàniques, així com la seva descoordinació, facilitaren que els mosqueters #catalans apostats a Montjuïc poguessin defensar-se, rebutjar els atacs dels #terços hispànics, i fins i tot fer-los fugir fins a Sants i després fins a Tarragona, gràcies a la col·laboració amb uns batallons de #cavalleria francesa i a que arribaren a #Barcelona reforços catalans i contingents francesos.
