Spanish governmental sources rejected, Wednesday, the groundless accusations against Morocco or any other country regarding the use of the Pegasus spyware.
Spanish news agency “EFE” said that the sources described the accusations that Morocco used the software to target members of the Spanish government, including the head of government or the Interior, Defense, and Agriculture ministers as “mere speculations”.
The sources also wondered on what basis these accusations were made, said EFE.
US computer scientist Jonathan Scott had cleared Morocco of all Pegasus use accusations, saying that forensic investigations conducted by Amnesty International, The Citizen Lab, and Forbidden Stories are nothing but junk science.
American lawyer at the New York bar Tor Ekeland had drawn attention to the fact that the said “pseudo-evidence” does not meet the principle of reproducibility which is itself a “red flag”.
For his part, Michael Hassard, an NYC-based lawyer specializing in IT law had explained that the scientific evidence submitted for analysis could often be subject to “confirmation bias”, adding that scientific methods of processing evidence in cybersecurity and computer science are relatively new and not foolproof.
