An Israeli tech firm has promoted its ability to access a vast trove personal data on servers belonging to companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple.
NSO Group, which made headlines earlier this year over reports its software could hack WhatsApp, has been telling potential clients it can access the data surreptitiously, without the knowledge of individual users or the tech giants themselves.
The Israeli company said it could also access Apple and Microsoft’s servers using the same method, the Financial Times reported.
The technique allegedly works by duplicating authentication keys from services such as Facebook Messenger and iCloud from an infected phone and then creating a virtual clone copy that can impersonate it.
