ABC News Australia: Spain's Prime Minister and Defence Minister targeted in Pegasus spyware attack
Mobile phones belonging to Spain's Prime Minister and Defence Minister were infected with Pegasus spyware last year, Spanish officials have said.
Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's mobile phone was breached twice in May 2021, and Defence Minister Margarita Robles' device was targeted once a month later, Presidency Minister Felix Bolanos said.
