This article is interesting because it shows how Cyber-Security firms, or Spy-Tech firms are using their technology and marketing their products to governments around the world. This particular Spy-Tech company mentioned in the article, NSO, is based out of Israel. Israel is the second-largest exporter in the world of cyber-security products, next to the United States. NSO, has developed spying software that can see all of the activity on a target’s iPhone. NSO argues spying is important to prevent terrorist attacks, and the firm’s motto is to “Make the World a Safe Place.” With a price of $650,000, plus a $500,000 set-up fee to track 10 iPhone devices, the company’s software is not-exactly for the “everyday user.” NSO’s software has been more in-demand in recent years because companies such as Facebook, Apple, and Google are making it harder for governments to access their data because they are using more-strict encryption. NSO has developed a tracking software called Pegasus, which Apple recently released a security-update to patch all of it’s devices. Do you believe this software is ethical, and should the government really need to know everything a person is doing on their phones in order to keep people safe? There has been recent cases in the United States, such as the San Bernardino shootings in California, where the government was unable to unlock the shooter’s iPhone. Apple stuck to its guns, and did not provide the U.S. government with technology capable of unlocking the device. The U.S. government had to resort to a third-party Spy-Tech firm to unlock the device.
