European Parliament Member Investigating Spyware Was Hacked With Pegasus

A Citizen Lab report revealed that Stelios Kouloglou, a former European Parliament member investigating spyware abuse, had his mobile device repeatedly infected with Pegasus spyware while serving on a related committee. The forensic analysis indicates attackers gained significant access to his device during his tenure.

Why it matters: EU policymakers and security teams should recognize that high-profile officials working on surveillance oversight remain targeted by advanced spyware, underscoring the need for enhanced endpoint protection and incident response capabilities for government personnel.
