What happened
Multiple cybersecurity and policy developments: researchers say Stelios Kouloglou, a former member of the European Parliament committee probing commercial spyware, was twice infected with Pegasus while serving; the UK’s National Cyber Action Plan publication has been delayed amid a Labour leadership contest; privacy campaigner Max Schrems (noyb) plans to sue to invalidate the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, threatening transatlantic data transfers; a 19-year-old alleged member of ‘Scattered Spider’ has been extradited to the U.S. in connection with 2025 hacks; and the U.S. lifted export controls
