NSCN-IM leaders among potential Pegasus spyware targets

Key members of the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), which has been in talks with the government, were among those allegedly targeted by Israeli spyware Pegasus between 2017 and 2019, news portal The Wire reported.

The portal is part of a consortium of global media organisations that investigated the alleged targeting of politicians, journalists, and constitutional authorities.

Atem Vashum, Apam Muivah, Anthony Ningkhan Shimray, Phunthing Shimrang and N Kitovi Zhimomi were listed as potential Pegasus targets worldwide, reported The Wire. There was no immediate response from NSCN-IM.
