French President Emmanuel Macro has changed his cell phone and phone number after the spying scandal with the software Pegasus.
The news was made known to Reuters by a senior French official who explained it was one of the first concrete actions in connection with the scandal.
He's got some phone numbers. That doesn't mean he's been sprained. It's just additional security”, he told Reuters.
Government spokesman Gabriel Attal said the president's security protocols are changing after the Pegasus incident.
Activists, journalists and lawyers around the world have been targeted with a telephone virus, falling prey to wiretapping.
The charges related to the programme, known as “Pegasus”, were reported by Washington Post, The Guardian, Le Monde and 14 other prestigious media around the world. According to them, the virus infected iPhone and Android devices by enabling operators to copy messages, photos, emails, recorded calls, and activated microphones secretly, writes a2news.
However, the Israeli company does not accept any violations.
