“NSO Group was like, hey, that’s cool. Can we buy it? Now, NSO Group is someone I’ve covered in detail before. That’s Episode 100, and it’s actually the most-listened to episode of this show. But to quickly recap who they are, NSO Group makes spyware called Pegasus and then sells it to governments around the world who then, well, spy on people. It infects the phone and then gives the government full visibility into it. So, when NSO saw how nifty this Circles company was, they purchased the company from Tal for $140 million.”
