NSO is clearly in the business of selling surveillance to foreign entities, and saying they vet people is nothing but smoke as there is zero actual evidence other than their blanket statements. If some government or other customer tells them they only attack terrorists, it's clearly easy to target anyone; how would NSO even know.

Also rather stupid was Apple's statement about their phones being secure, when its obvious there are zero days being sold to NSO instead of telling Apple. Everything is insecure these days, at some level.

If NSO paid people $1M for a zero day (I bet they don't say), and Apple/Google/etc paid $10K, who do you think gets the info.
