A Spanish lawyer, Andreu Van den Eynde, has filed a lawsuit against NSO Group founders Omri Lavie and Shalev Hulio, alleging illegal hacking. This marks a significant shift, as it seeks accountability from individuals rather than just the company. The lawsuit, filed by the human rights group Iridia, expands on a previous case against NSO and its affiliates. It claims that Van den Eynde was targeted to access sensitive client information, violating multiple rights. NSO has not commented on the specific allegations. The Spanish government has faced scrutiny over its use of NSO's spyware, with claims of surveillance against Catalan independence activists.
