In February 2024, two senior Polish intelligence officers were arrested and alleged to be illegally using Pegasus Spyware. The Pegasus software is developed by the Israeli cyber security company NSO Group and is intended for use by governments around the world. It was used for journalists and dissidents. One of the most notable cases was the use of the program against Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was placed in the Saudi embassy in Istanbul, where he was killed in 2018. The charges were brought against Piotr Ponkowski, former head of Poland's Internal Security Agency (ABW), and Maciej Materka, former head of the Military Front Service (SKW). Each of them faces up to three years in prison. The National Prosecutor's Office accuses them of authorizing the use of the Pegasus system without proper certification and without verifying whether it meets security standards. McGeage from Tarka pleaded not guilty and publicly announced on social network X (formerly Twitter), claiming that he acted strictly within the law and provided SKW employees with the best tools available to carry out their tasks. In September 2018, researchers from the "Citizens Lab" organization (Toronto) published a report indicating that Poland has an operator code named "ORZELBIALY" ("The White Eagle") using Pegasus to infect cell phones. According to the Associated Press, during the 2019 parliamentary campaign, the phone of Krzysztof Breyza, a member of parliament from the Civic Coalition Party, was hacked 33 times using Pegasus. The information obtained from the device was then transmitted to the state television channel TVP.
