Yesterday, a flurry of publications reported that NSO Group – the Israeli company whose spyware was allegedly used by Saudi Arabia to spy on the journalist Jamal Khashoggi before he was murdered – was attempting to woo Western governments with its coronavirus tracking technology.

The company is currently in talks with the Israeli government about using its coronavirus tracking software to monitor and predict the spread of the virus, according to Israeli media. Reports from several media organisations yesterday said that the NSO Group was also “in talks” with Western governments.
