How is NSO hacked?

A 38-year-old programmer stole the smartphone hack tools of the company he is working with, NSO. He turned off the security software on his computer and then copied the source code of the smartphone hack tools developed by the NSO Group into USB.

Next, he accessed the black web, declared himself a hacker, successfully broke into NSO's servers and stole the company's software. He sold stolen code for $ 50 million.

But one of his clients reported the incident to the Israeli Ministry of Justice. Not long after, this programmer was arrested. All the hacking tools that he stole were recovered, all customer data and information were safe.

Unfortunately for the former employee, the Israeli army also uses the NSO Group's hacking tools, so in addition to other charges he is accused of damaging national security.
