The European Union Data Protection Center called for the ban on the "Pegasus" application of the Israeli "NSO Group" company (NSO Group).
The European Center said that the use of Pegasus can lead to an unprecedented intrusion level, noting that the application is able to interfere in the aspects of the private life of people.
Pegasus program is cultivated hidden in mobile phones for the purpose of spying.
In the past months, the program was used by many countries to spy on opponents, journalists, social activists, and politicians around the world..
At the beginning of this year, Human Rights Watch revealed in a report that the Bigasus spy program is surreptitiously carried on mobile phones.
The report emphasized that once the spy program is downloaded on the device, the customer is able to convert it into a strong control tool through full access to the camera, calls, photos, videos, microphone, email, text messages, and other features, which allows monitoring the target person and contacts.
"This is an advanced and complex attack technique, effective in penetrating devices, and it is also difficult for the target to discover or prevent it," the organization added..
Pegasus is considered one of the most dangerous and "most complex spyware", and it especially targets smart devices operating "iOS" (Apple), but there is a copy of Android devices that are somewhat different from "iOS ".
