All you need to know about Pegasus Spyware !!!!

Pegasus is a secret spying software. It is a spyware developed by Israel-based NSO Internet Security Company. Many countries like Bangladesh, Mexico and Saudi Arabia buy and use Pegasus software from NSO. Although the government says that it is buying this software for national security, it is accused of being used to spy on people. However, it is not officially known whether India has bought this software or not.

It first came to light in 2016. This spyware first targeted iPhone users. Several days later, Apple released its latest iOS, fixing the security holes used by Pegasus. A year later, security researchers discovered that it was capable of infecting Android smartphones as well.

Later in 2019, Facebook filed a lawsuit against NSO Group for developing Pegasus.

Once a hacker first identifies a phone to be hacked, they send a malicious website link, which when the user clicks on it, Pegasus is installed on their phone. This is also installed through a security bug in WhatsApp Call. The worst method is the call method. This is also done by giving a missed call to the specified user.

Once Pegasus arrives on a smartphone, it will spy on the user completely. Pegasus can also access end-to-end encrypted chats made by WhatsApp. Security researchers have found that it is possible to steal messages, photos, videos, location data and email from a mobile phone, and can also intercept phone calls.

And it has not been able to communicate with those who control it for more than 60 days.
