Saudi human rights activist and political satirist Ghanem al-Dosari has won a landmark victory in the UK, opening a way for victims of hacking to bring legal cases against foreign governments. A British judge ruled that a case against the kingdom of Saudi Arabia could proceed. The precedent-setting case is based on allegations Saudi Arabia hacked Almasarir's phone using NSO Group's Pegasus spyware and that later he was assaulted by Saudi agents in London in 2018.
In related news, the CEO of NSO Group, Shalev Hulio, is to step down as part of a reorganisation that will see the company focus on sales in Nato member countries.
