“Most notably, NSO Group’s software had allegedly been used to spy on associates of American journalist Jamal Khashoggi before his murder in 2018.”Rod Rosenstein is working with NSO Group, the Israeli firm accused of spying on dissidents
Rod Rosenstein, a former deputy attorney general at the Department of Justice, has been providing counsel on cybersecurity and national security to NSO Group, the Israeli software surveillance firm accused of spying on human rights activists and journalists, according to court documents obtained by CyberScoop.
Rosenstein’s work with NSO Group was revealed in court documents in relation to a lawsuit WhatsApp filed against the company, accusing them of surveilling over 1,000 WhatsApp users.

NSO Group has been accused of creating and selling a mobile spyware tool that’s been used against journalists, human rights activists, and political dissidents around the world. Most notably, NSO Group’s software had allegedly been used to spy on associates of American journalist Jamal Khashoggi before his murder in 2018. NSO has denied the claims and says that it only sells its tools to governments and intelligence agencies for legitimate purposes, such as tracking down terrorists.
