Shoot the Messenger: Espionage, Murder and Pegasus Spyware continues with its eighth episode, a special interview with acclaimed journalist Carlos Dada about the intense targeting of him and his newsroom, El Faro, in El Salvador.
El Faro is no stranger to threats and intimidation - which has increased under the administration of President Nayib Bukele.
Pegasus was used to spy on Carlos Dada for more than a 100 days in a row. Between June 2020 to November 2021, more than 20 members of El Faro were infected with NSO Group's Pegasus spyware.
John Scott-Railton of Citizen Lab worked to identify the El Faro breach — this was one of the most obsessive cases of spying Citizen Lab has ever seen.
Shoot the Messenger is hosted by Rose Reid and Nando Vila and is a production of Exile Content Studio.
Guests: Carlos Dada and John Scott-Railton
