(Ynet News) Ronen Bergman - The drug baron El Chapo, considered the most-wanted man in the world, was captured with the help of a phone interception system known as Pegasus, created by the Israeli company NSO. Pegasus can take full control of a cell phone, including listening in on calls, reading every written communication, using its microphone to eavesdrop on conversations held in its vicinity, and taking photos with its camera. It is also able to obtain access to all of the information needed to log into bank accounts and emails. The president of Mexico called on Christmas Eve 2011 to personally thank NSO. "I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present. With what you gave us, we can finally eradicate the cartels." In 2017 El Chapo was extradited to the U.S. where he is now standing trial.
