Pegasus is perhaps the most potent hacking tool available. While the NSO Group claims to only sell spyware to “vetted” government agencies, there are numerous reports of its misuse around the globe. This includes instances where governments used spyware to snoop on human rights defenders, journalists, and members of the opposition.

For example, last month, Polish senators accused the ruling party of using Pegasus against opponents in the 2019 parliamentary elections....

Why You Need a VPN to Watch Fargo Geoblocking prevents you from streaming content if you’re outside a specific geographic location.

The next tweet read: “Translation – we got all (symmetric) PS5 root keys....
