Pegasus was also used in Poland by the "Prawo i sprawiedliwość" ruling party (in eng. "Law and justice" sic!) to spy on the head of the opposition electoral staff during 2019 election.

The PiS regime allegedly spied on more than just senator Krzysztof Brejza with Pegasus. Pasting from my first ever HN comment:

Its interesting in today world. We have had several major spying releases/scandals in the last decade and not much has really come of them (at least in the US). The last several our general population has shrugged off and went right back to using all their devices/services. It seems people just don't seem to care much about their privacy when it comes to governments spying. I don't have much faith there will be any serious consequences in Poland.
You cannot fight government propaganda.
