Opposition Leader Natthaphong Reports Pegasus Spyware Attack on Phone
People's Party leader Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut says his iPhone was targeted by Pegasus spyware, posting a screenshot of the security alert. He connects the attack to the opposition's preparation for a no-confidence debate against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and notes another opposition leader received a similar warning.
On November 3, 2026, Natthaphong Ruengpanyawut, a list-MP and leader of the People's Party, posted a screen capture from his phone showing a warning that his iPhone had been targeted by spyware from the Pegasus family. Natthaphong wrote that the attempt to consolidate power in the House, the prolonged no-confidence debate, and the warnings on the phones of two opposition leaders — with possibly more people affected — were a striking coincidence. In a brief interview, he said he believes there was a definite attempt to infiltrate his phone for data, noting the opposition is currently preparing materials for the no-confidence debate against Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra.
