JERUSALEM: Israeli spyware firm NSO Group said on Sunday that its chief executive Shalev Hulio is stepping down with immediate effect, with chief operating officer Yaron Shohat appointed to oversee the company’s restructuring before a successor is named.
A company source confirmed that about 100 employees will be laid off as part of the firm’s restructuring, and that Shohat will lead the company until the board appoints a new CEO.
The surveillance firm that makes Pegasus software is resisting legal action after allegations that its tools were misused by governments and other agencies to hack mobile phones.
NSO has said that its technology is intended to help catch terrorists, pedophiles and hardened criminals and is sold to “investigated and legitimate” government customers, although it keeps its client list confidential.

“The company’s products continue to be in high demand among government and law enforcement agencies because of its state-of-the-art technology and proven ability to assist these customers in fighting crime and terror,” Shohat said in a statement.
“NSO will ensure that the company’s critical technologies are used for the right and deserving purposes,” he added.
