An Australian-owned mobile phone operator in the Pacific is likely to have been used by private spies to track people on the other side of the world and steal their data.

RNZ Pacific's Eleisha Foon spoke with Organised Crime and Corruption Reporting Project Pacific (OCCRP) editor, Dan Mcgarry who was part of the investigation.
