Maddow to contribute foreword to book on Pegasus malware

NEW YORK (AP) — Rachel Maddow is contributing a foreword to “Pegasus,” a book by two Paris-based investigative reporters on the phone malware allegedly used by governments to monitor and sometimes attack journalists, human rights activists and lawyers among others. Authors Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud run Forbidden Stories, a nonprofit journalism organization which last month issued an extensive report on the global scale of Pegasus. Publisher Henry Holt says the book “will reveal the full extent of this unprecedented surveillance operation through the stories of the people whose lives have been turned upside down by it.” Holt has not set a release date for “Pegasus.”
