Morocco Targeted Journalist with Pegasus | Amsterdam News
Description
Morocco allegedly launched a massive cyber espionage campaign using Pegasus spyware, targeting over 12,000 devices across 20+ countries between 2018 and 2021 — including Dutch journalist Koen Greven, who’s now heading sports at ANP. The operation, linked to Morocco’s DGST, reportedly aimed at journalists, activists, and foreign officials, with Greven’s past reporting on Moroccan protests likely putting him on the radar. While Amnesty notes these were just attempted infections — not confirmed breaches — Morocco denies using Pegasus and even sued European outlets over prior reports, which fizzled out.
