Someone infected a spyware probe overseer with spyware

- The article refers to **Pegasus**, a highly invasive spyware developed by the Israeli company **NSO Group**. It can remotely infect smartphones and extract messages, calls, photos, and microphone/camera feeds, often targeting journalists, activists, and politicians. - **Pega** (short for the "Pegasus" committee) is a Canadian parliamentary committee formally named the **National Security and Intelligence Committee of Parliamentarians** (NSICOP). It was created to oversee intelligence agencies and, more recently, to investigate the use of Pegasus spyware by Canadian law enforcement. - The headline event: someone on the very committee tasked with probing Pegasus was themselves infected with Pegasus (or a similar spyware), raising serious concerns about who is conducting surveillance on government watchdogs and why. - This matters because it suggests that the tools used to surveil civil society can also be turned against those who investigate that surveillance, undermining democratic oversight.
