NSO, the Israeli Occupation company specializing in spyware, has temporarily banned several of its government clients from using its technologies, in conjunction with its investigations into the possible misuse of one of its programs, a source in the company confirmed to NPR. 

The company revealed the matter after several media reports said the spyware program developed by the company, called Pegasus, was used to target and monitor people ranging from heads of state and officials to journalists and human rights activists.

The company has come under great scrutiny by several parties around the world, following the spread of espionage reports associated with it.

According to the radio, the Israeli Occupation government faced pressure in light of the company's sale of its spying technology to other countries that misused it.

In turn, the company confirmed that it is conducting an "investigation with some customers. The (service) of some of those customers has been temporarily suspended."

The company also stressed on its website that it "will not respond to media inquiries regarding this issue."

The company said that what it is experiencing comes as part of a "planned and well-coordinated media campaign," and accused the "Forbidden Stories" website of being behind it.

"We do not operate the system, and we do not have access to our customers' data, yet they are obliged to provide us with information like this under investigation," she said.
