US State Department phones reportedly hacked with Israeli-made spyware
The apparent hack targeted US diplomats based in Uganda or officials whose work focused on the country.
At least nine US State Department employees' phones were hacked using software developed by Israeli cybersurveillance firm NSO Group, Reuters reported on Friday.
Citing sources familiar with the apparent cyberattack, the news agency reported the spyware targeted US diplomats based in Uganda or officials whose work focused on the country. Apple alerted the State Department employees, at least some of whom were American citizens, that their devices had been infected in recent months.
