The new names that have surfaced as potential targets of snooping using the Pegasus spyware include that of Army, BSF, ED and Research and Analysis Wing officers, The Wire reported on Monday. 

An Indian client is believed to have availed the services of Israeli spyware firm NSO Group for spying on 300 people across India, an international media consortium revealed earlier this month after analysing a leaked list of phone numbers. The firm sells the spyware only to governments. According to the latest report by the news portal, in 2018, three phone numbers of K K Sharma, the then head of the Border Security Force (BSF), was on the target list. His phones have not been forensically examined to ascertain if they were infected with Pegasus.
