Saudi Arabia Spied on Dissident Using Israeli Phone Hacking Tech - Report  Report reaching out to us on Wednesday 01:31 03.10.2018 By gowidenews. A report by a Canadian academic lab has found that the Saudi government used Israeli-made Pegasus spyware to snoop on the phone of a prominent Saudi dissident living in Canada.
