Israeli spyware manufacturer NSO’s chief executive will step down and 100 more employees will be let go as part of a reorganization process, the company announced on Sunday.

One of the company’s founders and CEO Shalev Hulio announced in a statement that he would be retiring.

NSO said it would reexamine “all aspects of its business, including streamlining its operations to ensure NSO remains one of the world’s leading high-tech cyber intelligence companies, focusing on NATO-member countries.”

The company’s infamous Pegasus software, which activates microphones and cameras on private devices without users’ knowledge sparked a scandal related to the use of the spyware against dissidents, journalists, diplomats, and political figures.
