1. Forbidden Stories
   The authors detail the story of the efforts of brave journalists and Amnesty International technologists who track the hacking of several governments including Mexico, Morocco, and Azerbiajan. These and other governments use the Pegasus software created by the Israeli NOS Group to track terrorists, criminals, and human rights activists, and journalists. NOS management is really arrogant in the book – and on the 2019 Sixty Minutes interview.The Israeli Ministry of Defense oversaw the export of the Pegasus software, a military-grade offensive weapon. It and NOS claimed to be extremely careful about which countries it allowed to buy the technology. In reality, the MOD was only concerned about which countries were sympathetic to Israeli’s existence.This is an extremely powerful read about journalists around the world who bravely report on the activities of their governments.The book illustrates another of the weapons and organizations used to attack the privacy of citizens around the world. PRIVACY – forget it. You have none.

2. Great book
   Very insightful and interesting reading about the threats the intrusion as a service industry presents. Kudos to authors, and also to Claudio and Donncha for dedicating their careers fighting against the misuse of cyber weapons and giving us detailed context what’s going on behind.

3. Pegasus desde una perspectiva no técnica
   Desde que salió el caso de Pegasus aumentaron mis niveles de paranoia. Había estudiado este caso desde mi profesión como analista forense. Sin embargo, esta joya de libro da una visión del impacto que generó esta arma de espionaje en el ámbito social, económico y político. Un libro recomendadisimo para generar conciencia sobre la privacidad y la libertad de expresión.

4. VERY Insightful!
   An EXTREMELY insightful book about secret e-surveillance even when your device is turned off. Oppressive governments can hear your convos and track your movements among other things. Thank you for this timely warning!!!

5. Big Brother
   Excellent read. The addition on individuals who were victims of Pegasus and the injustices done to them made this a captivating read like a spy novel. The horrifying part is that it is real as is the authors’ point that every weapon is a two sided coin and in the hands of people with broken moral compasses the apocalypse is right around the corner.

7. wow just wow
   You would think it’s the plot of a tv show on cyber warfare. Nope, real life recounting of the hard work that went into the Pegasus Project at Forbidden Stories. Excellent work!

12. Il tema e’ interessante, di grande interesseLa trattazione e’ men che modesta, noiosa a tratti: piu’ un diario dell’autore che una libro su tema di questo toll spionistico “privato”
