Rabat, which has already used spyware developed by the Zionist entity giving rise to the “Pegasus” scandal, was offered new spyware developed by an Israeli company that might be used once morest journalists and political figures, according to sources taken by the official APS agency.
Citizen Lab, a Canadian research lab, claims on its website that it was able to identify “at least five civil society victims” infected with spyware made by the Zionist company QuaDream Ltd. Without wanting to reveal the identities of the victims, the writers of the report situate these attacks “in North America, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and the Middle East”. “Among the victims are journalists, political opposition figures and an employee of an NGO”, writes the Citizen Lab team, which has developed indicators that have exposed this new spyware on the basis of an analysis of samples shared by Microsoft Threat Intelligence. According to press reports, QuaDream has sold its product to several countries and offered it to others, including Morocco.
The QuaDream company has been active in the development of sophisticated spyware for several years, dealing with numerous government customers, the document reveals. “The company has common roots with NSO group as well as other companies in the (Zionist) commercial spyware industry and the government’s own intelligence agencies,” reads a Citizen Lab report.
According to this report, which is intended as a warning signal once morest the proliferation of these new intelligence weapons that are spyware, the internet analysis for QuaDream servers has enabled the identification of 600 servers and 200 names of spyware-related domains between 2021 and 2023.
The software manufactured and marketed by this entity makes it possible, according to the explanations of the APS which takes up the Citizen Lab report, to record the sound of a telephone call, to take photos and to carry out searches in the files of the devices without the knowledge of the user.
It also allows to access stored data remotely and self-destruct its traces once uninstalled. Also according to the report, the QuaDream company was founded by a former military official of the Zionist occupation army and former member of the NSO company, creator of the Pegasus spyware.
It should be recalled, in this regard, that Morocco was accused in the summer of 2021 of having used Pegasus, following an extensive investigation carried out by a consortium of 17 international media on the basis of data obtained by the organization Forbidden Stories and by Amnesty International.
According to these sources, Algeria was the main target of the kingdom, which tracked between 2017 and 2019 – through this software – senior Algerian civilian and military leaders as well as members of the intelligence services, Algerian embassies abroad and activists.
