RT by @MarietjeSchaake: BIG DEAL: Russia caught reusing phone exploit strikingly similar to NSO Group's Pegasus spyware.

How did Russian Intelligence / #APT29 get it after NSO used it?

Google isn't sure yet.

But I warned Congress this would happen.

It says something about who NSO sourced it from, or that they can't control their code, or... none of it is good.

Ditto the Russian reuse of exploits from Intellexa, a now-US-sanctioned mercenary spyware company.

Whatever the case, the mercenary spyware industry is accelerating global cyber insecurity, including threats to the US & NATO allies.
