How Governments Use Pegasus

Pegasus is spyware for smartphones developed by the Israeli NSO group and licensed to various organizations, including the FBI, for millions of dollars.

When it’s placed in a smartphone, it can not only read text messages, e-mails, photos, and location information, but it can also listen in on conversations and take pictures using the smartphone’s microphone and camera, respectively. All without the user’s knowledge.

Until now, the “bad guys”, as they’re commonly referred to, were the ones using these functions. Now, political groups and governments use it to spy on users. In Israel, there was an incident where they spied on former Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu. With this case, a blackmailing case came to light with the information they found using this software.

In Israel, a case of blackmailing involving Netanyahu with the information obtained from this spyware has come to light.

Cell phones are convenient devices, but we need to understand that they can be dangerous because of their excellent functions. You may think that there’s nothing to be afraid of if you’re not doing anything wrong. However, it’s still important to know that there’s always the possibility that you’re being monitored.
