[SkyText:According to the Daily Mail,
global security experts have
said Downing Street was targeted by
hackers from the United Arab Emirates
after spyware was allegedly found
on a phone linked to Number 10. ]




[Downing Street and Foreign Office computer systems
were suspected to have been infected with spyware,
according to a Canadian investigative group.
Citizen Lab says it informed officials that suspected
Pegasus spyware was discovered in 2020 and 2021,
with the Downing Street incident linked to operators in the UAE.

Pegasus is sold by NSO Group to governments
to carry out surveillance through infecting
phones with malicious software.
The Israeli-based company has denied the
allegations, saying they are false
and could not have taken place.
The Citizen Lab, which tracks electronic surveillance,
said in 2020 and 2021 it notified the UK government
that networks belonging to both 10 Downing Street
and the Foreign and Commonwealth Office were
suspected to have been infected using Pegasus spyware.]
