The spyware giant NSO Group claimed that a list of 50,000 phone numbers, which is the basis of a series of explosive stories about alleged abuses by its customers,  has nothing to do with the company or its customers. 

“We will state again: The list is not a list of targets or potential targets of Pegasus. The numbers in the list are not related to NSO group. Any claim that a name in the list is necessarily related to a Pegasus target or Pegasus potential target is erroneous and false," an NSO spokesperson said.
