Polish Probe Finds Pegasus Spyware Data Left Country's Borders

Polish security services operated the Israeli spyware Pegasus without full control over the system, allowing collected surveillance data to leave the country's borders, Poland's national prosecution revealed on Monday, according to reports by Walla and Maariv.

Findings by experts from Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW) determined that the Israeli manufacturer retained technical access to the surveillance infrastructure and the gathered materials. The findings were released alongside a report from a parliamentary inquiry committee examining the affair.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk sharply criticized his predecessors, warning that national security had been compromised, while Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek also voiced strong criticism over the revelations.
