Articles published over the weekend by the consortium of reporters constitute the largest dump of data about NSO to date, which is why the reports have gotten so much attention. But there is still some uncertainty about where the information used in the latest round of reporting came from and what the list of phone numbers shows.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"31.070496083551\"><\/p>\n<p>In the statement, the company repeats the usual point that NSO does not operate surveillance infrastructure, and has no visibility into what customers do, or who they hack. The company also said it does routinely investigate allegations of abuse. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsogroup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/ReportBooklet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span>In its recent transparency report<\/span><\/a>, the company said it cut ties with five customers since 2016 &#8220;following an investigation of misuse.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"29\"><\/p>\n<p>But the company did not name the customers nor the specific circumstances.

retreat back into the shadows.&#8221;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/span><span class=\"abc__textblock size--article\" data-component=\"TextBlock\" readability=\"25.803921568627\"><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Subscribe
