Lawyer allegedly hacked with spyware names NSO founders in lawsuit


Spanish lawyer Andreu Van den Eynde is suing NSO Group and its founders Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio, accusing them of illegal hacking.

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. 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. The CNI said that its work was overseen by the Spanish Supreme Court and “in full accordance with the legal system, and with absolute respect for the applicable laws.” Its former director Paz Esteban later testified in Spain’s Congress and said 18 members of the independence movement were spied on with judicial approval.
