Want to invisibly spy on 10 iPhone owners without their knowledge? Gather their every keystroke, sound, message and location?That will cost you $650,000, plus a $500,000 setup fee with an Israeli outfit called the NSO Group . These tools can turn the phone into a secret recording device.Since its founding six years ago, the NSO Group has kept a low profile. But last month, security researchers caught its spyware trying to gain access to the iPhone of a human rights activist in the United Arab Emirates . Now, internal NSO Group emails, contracts and commercial proposals obtained offer insight into how companies in this secretive digital surveillance industry operate.
