Where: European Union / Greece
When: Reported July 6, 2026; infections dated October 2022 and March 2023
What happened: Citizen Lab found that former Greek MEP Stelios Kouloglou’s iPhone was infected with Pegasus spyware while he was involved in the European Parliament’s inquiry into spyware abuse. Civil liberties groups say the case raises serious concerns about oversight, accountability and the integrity of EU investigations into government-grade spyware.
