Nando: The Committee to Protect Journalists does a lot of work for journalists. Nando says he stumbled over cybersecurity as one of the biggest threats to journalism around the world. He and his producer Rose met with CPJ board member Isaac Lee, who is on their board. They say Pegasus spyware makes it easier for authoritarian regimes to surveil anyone including journalists.
Danny and Derek welcome Rose Reid and Nando Vila, co-hosts of the new podcast Shoot the Messenger: Espionage, Murder & Pegasus Spyware. They discuss mass surveillance, (the totally legal) Pegasus spyware, how the grisly murder of Jamal Khashoggi fits into this, the vulnerability of journalists, and more.
