Ronan Farrow Exposes Secrets of High-Tech Spyware in New Film “Surveilled”
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow and filmmaker Matthew O’Neill explore the alarming world of high-tech surveillance in their HBO documentary Surveilled. Farrow’s interest began after being tracked by Black Cube, an Israeli private intelligence firm, during his investigation of Harvey Weinstein’s misconduct. This experience led him to uncover more advanced surveillance technologies, including Pegasus spyware.
The documentary highlights Pegasus’s misuse by authoritarian regimes and democratic states like Greece, Poland, and Spain, targeting journalists and dissidents. Farrow interviews a former NSO Group employee, the makers of Pegasus, revealing its widespread abuse.
Farrow also uncovers that U.S. agencies under both the Biden and Trump administrations considered using such spyware. However, the full extent of its deployment remains unclear, raising concerns about unchecked surveillance practices globally.
