Nikos Androulakis complains about an attempt to monitor his mobile phone with the illegal software “Pegasus” and an attempt to intercept personal data
At 10 in the morning the lawyers of the president of Nikos Androulakis took action in ADAE the indictment, which was filed with the Prosecutor’s Office of the Supreme Court on Tuesday for the case of the attempt to monitor the cell phone of the president of PASOK.
Nikos Androulakis reports an attempt to monitor his mobile phone with the illegal software “Pegasos” and an attempt to intercept personal data.
Among other things, it is noted that Mr. Androulakis made use, on June 28, 2022, for preventive reasons, of the Special Service of the European Parliament created after the revelation of the surveillance scandals with the “Pegasus” software, through which MEPs could to check their phone devices for possible infections from illegal tracking software.
According to relevant information from the first check carried out on the device of the president of PASOK-Movement of Change, the presence of a suspicious link (link) connected to the illegal monitoring software was found Predator. Predator is a surveillance tool that gives its operator full and permanent access to the target’s device. Predator allows the operator to extract passwords, files, photos, web browsing history, contacts, as well as identity data (such as mobile device information). Predator can take screenshots (screencaptures), record the user’s entries (on his mobile), and can also activate the device’s microphone and camera. This enables attackers to monitor any action taking place on or near a device, such as conversations taking place within a room. The Predator also allows its operator to record text messages sent or received (including those sent via “encrypted applications”) as well as simple and VoIP phone calls (including telephone conversations via “encrypted” applications).
Following Parliament’s relevant security protocol, which was immediately activated, a copy of the device was made so that a more detailed check could be carried out. Then, following a proposal from the competent services of the European Parliament, an additional check was carried out on Mr. Androulakis’ device. After the completion of these checks, the services of the Parliament drew up the relevant report, which they delivered to Mr. Androulakis in the previous days.
