<\/div>\n

A former senior CIA official who was recently appointed by Joe Biden to an intelligence advisory board previously served as a key adviser to NSO Group<\/a>, where he vetted deals for the Israeli spyware company and voted on whether sales of the controversial hacking tools could proceed.<\/p>\n

Jeremy Bash served on NSO\u2019s business ethics committee (BEC), where he was instrumental in giving advice to the company on whether proposed sales by the Israeli group to specific foreign government clients would be seen as acceptable to the US government, multiple sources familiar with the matter said.<\/p>\n

Bash is believed to have served as an adviser to NSO, through a parent company called Q Cyber, from about 2017 to 2020, but his firm declined to confirm the dates. He had previously worked as a chief of staff at the CIA<\/a> and the US Department of Defense under Leon Panetta.<\/p>\n

Bash\u2019s role on the BEC gave him a vote on whether proposed sales of NSO\u2019s powerful spyware to particular foreign government agencies should proceed.<\/p>\n

When NSO\u2019s spyware, called Pegasus, is successfully deployed against a target, it can hack a phone without a user\u2019s knowledge, listen to phone calls, track encrypted messages on apps such as Signal and WhatsApp, and monitor a user\u2019s location. It can also turn a phone into a listening device by remotely controlling a phone user\u2019s microphone and camera.<\/p>\n

Researchers at the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto and Amnesty International\u2019s security lab have documented dozens of cases of the spyware being used to target and hack dissidents, journalists, political opponents and lawyers.<\/p>\n

NSO does not publish the identities of its government clients but the Guardian and others have reported on the hacking software being used extensively in the past in countries such as Mexico, India, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Rwanda.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Bash\u2019s company, Beacon Global Strategies, which was the entity hired to advise NSO, declined to comment on which foreign government agencies he vetted in his role on the BEC. However, they said the firm had \u201cstrongly advised\u201d NSO \u201cnot to do business in Saudi Arabia\u201d.<\/p>\n

Bash\u2019s new role advising the White House could prove awkward for the Biden administration, which placed NSO on a US blacklist in November 2021 after concluding the company had developed and supplied spyware to foreign governments that used the tools to \u201cmaliciously target government officials, journalists, businesspeople, activists, academics, and embassy workers\u201d.<\/p>\n

The administration also said NSO had engaged in \u201cactivities that are contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States.\u201d NSO said at the time it was dismayed by the ruling and that it would advocate for it to be overturned.<\/p>\n

Relatively little has been reported about Bash\u2019s advisory work for <\/strong>NSO, where he was viewed as a trusted US insider who could ensure that the company was not making decisions that would run afoul of the US government.<\/p>\n

Bash co-founded Beacon Global Strategies in 2013 after working for Panetta and earlier serving as counsel to the now-retired congresswoman Jane Harman when she was the head of the House permanent select committee on intelligence.<\/p>\n

People who know Bash say the former official, who is a lawyer, is \u201cwhip smart\u201d and highly regarded for having served as chief of staff to Panetta at CIA when the US found and killed Osama bin Laden<\/a>, the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks.<\/p>\n

Two people with direct knowledge of the matter said Bash\u2019s firm was initially hired to advise NSO through the company\u2019s then owner, a US investment firm called Francisco Partners.<\/p>\n

He was one of about eight members of the BEC, who would vet highly confidential requests from government agencies to buy a licence to access Pegasus. The identity of the members of the BEC was also a tightly held secret.<\/p>\n

Bash declined to respond to specific questions about his role on the BEC. Ashley Barry, a spokesperson for Beacon Global Strategies, said Bash had \u201clong believed that the technology at issue must be regulated by export controls and by the establishment of international rules of the road that the United States should lead\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said Beacon Global Strategies had stopped working with NSO after the company \u201creversed course\u201d and pursued deals with Saudi Arabia after the firm had \u201cstrongly advised\u201d NSO not to do business with the kingdom. \u201cWe quit when they didn\u2019t follow our advice. We haven\u2019t conducted any work for that company since then \u2013 nearly four years ago,\u201d Barry said.<\/p>\n

She emphasised that Bash\u2019s work for NSO was under the auspices of BGS. \u201cAll of the work that individual BGS employees \u2013 including Mr Bash \u2013 performed for this client was done under the umbrella of our firm\u2019s work for that client.\u201d<\/p>\n

One person with close knowledge of the matter said that, under Francisco Partners, the BEC was a management committee that had the \u201clast word\u201d on any sale of the hacking tool to foreign government clients, after those sales had already been vetted by Israel. Decisions by the committee had to be unanimous and could not be overridden, the person said.<\/p>\n

Bash also appears to have participated in at least one meeting with a prospective investor in which they say he vouched for NSO\u2019s vetting process. In a 2019 email seen by the Guardian, an employee from Jefferies Group, a financial services company, described to a colleague how he had met Bash in connection to a possible investment in NSO. <\/p>\n

He described how his firm\u2019s investment committee had become \u201ccomfortable\u201d with the idea of an investment after being convinced that there were \u201cpainstaking layers of approvals and consequences of misuse\u201d on the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe deliberately asked BEC member Jeremy Bash to participate in the bank meeting where he highlighted NSO\u2019s extensive vetting process,\u201d the Jefferies Group employee wrote, while also noting that he felt particularly convinced by the fact that the BEC had a \u201cunanimous vote requirement\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the end, the credibility of Jeremy, the US\/UK\/Israel alliance built into NSO\u2019s process got us comfortable,\u201d he said. The Jefferies Group declined to comment.<\/p>\n

Another person familiar with the matter said the BEC had the power to in effect rule out sales of NSO\u2019s technology because every member of the committee had a veto right. They said Bash was seen as the right person for the job because of his US government background. \u201cHe was an expert of the American policy, that\u2019s why we took him,\u201d the person said.<\/p>\n

The BEC was ultimately unwound after another private equity company, called Novalpina, acquired NSO and revamped its ethics policies.<\/p>\n

Bash was appointed by Biden to the president\u2019s intelligence advisory board in August. The board is described as an independent body within the executive office of the president, which exists to provide the president \u201cwith an independent source of advice on the effectiveness with which the intelligence community is meeting the nation\u2019s intelligence needs\u201d.<\/p>\n

Ron Deibert, the founder of the Citizen Lab at the University of Toronto, which has reported extensively on abuse of NSO spyware by its government clients, said the Biden administration should not be rewarding a former adviser to the disgraced firm if it \u201cwants to send a serious message to the world about cracking down on mercenary spyware abuses\u201d. Deibert has called NSO \u201cone of the worst offenders in the industry\u201d.<\/p>\n

The spokesperson from Bash\u2019s firm called Deibert\u2019s criticism \u201cabsurd\u201d and \u201cfalse\u201d since Deibert \u201cdoes not know the substance of the advice we provided\u201d.<\/p>\n

A White House spokesperson said members of the president\u2019s intelligence advisory board \u201chave not and will not\u201d be involved in any way in the administration\u2019s policy process on commercial spyware. A national security strategy, released last week by the administration, vowed to counter the \u201cillegitimate use of technology\u201d, including commercial spyware.<\/p>\n

NSO has said that its hacking software is meant to be used only by government clients to stop serious crime such as terrorism. It has also said it investigates cases of misuse by clients. NSO did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n
