Pegasus The Spyware Technology
Pegasus spyware is capable of bypassing your phone’s security and gaining complete access to your device including emails, messages, GPS location, photos, video, and your phone’s microphone.
A Guardian investigation can now reveal widespread abuse of the Pegasus technology by government clients around the world who purchased the spyware from its Israeli manufacturer the NSO Group.
People who were selected as possible targets include journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders.
Recently, a database of around 50,000 phone numbers that may have been targeted for surveillance using Pegasus, was leaked to several standard investigative media platforms. Pegasus Spyware attacks the devices so seamlessly that even the device owner might not have any idea about it. Pegasus is using a variety of endpoints to attack the devices such as it is using iMessage to attack iPhones.
Once the Pegasus gets into your smartphone, your text messages & emails, contacts, photos, passwords, can be accessed by the other party. In fact, the access is given to such an extent that even your device mic or camera can also be operated by the one who’s is spying on you very conveniently.
The Pegasus Spyware can even access the end to end encrypted messages or files as it can now steal them before the encryption or after the decryption.
