"The report is full of wrong assumptions and uncorroborated theories," NSO Group, an Israeli company that sells Pegasus spyware worldwide, said.

New Delhi: The NSO Group, an Israeli company that sells Pegasus spyware worldwide, on Sunday (July 18, 2021) refuted the media reports that they have put on surveillance, phones of current Indian cabinet ministers, opposition leaders, businessmen and journalists among others.  "The report is full of wrong assumptions and uncorroborated theories that raise serious doubts about the reliability and interests of the sources. It seems like the 'unidentified sources' have supplied information that has no factual basis and are far from reality," an NSO Group spokesperson said in a statement to Zee Media. "After checking their claims, we firmly deny the false allegations made in their report. Their sources have supplied them with information which has no factual basis, as evident by the lack of supporting documentation for many of their claims," the statement further added.
