It reportedly also listed 37 successfully hacked cellphones of journalists, rights activists, business owners, and two women close to late Saudi reporter Jamal Khashoggi for The Washington Post, who was assassinated at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul in October 2018.
Among the owners of targeted cellphones are reporters from CNN, The Associated Press and Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, and France's Le Monde, as well as other outlets.
NSO CEO Shalev Hulio in an interview to The Washington Post dismissed claims that the list of more than 50,000 numbers was somehow related to his firm or the Pegasus software.
"We understand that in some circumstances our customers might misuse the system and, in some cases like we reported in [NSO’s] Transparency and Responsibility Report, we have shut down systems for customers who have misused the system," he said.
NSO Group has been repeatedly sued for being involved in various hacking attacks and cyber espionage.
