Pegasus is a highly sophisticated and controversial spyware tool developed by the Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group. Pegasus is designed to infiltrate and infect mobile devices, including smartphones, and it allows the attacker to remotely monitor and collect a wide range of information from the compromised device. This information can include text messages, call logs, emails, GPS location data, and more. It can also be used to activate the device’s microphone and camera for audio and video surveillance.
Pegasus is a cancer that keeps on giving, and now all countries own it in the world. My favorite is whenever any country states they bought it for ‘security reasons’ and they won’t deploy it unless it’s used against criminals. Do what you want with this information.
Well, that’s most terrifying. Can you do anything about it except not using smartphones?
I’m using GrapheneOS for added security and sandboxing, but I feel that this is a bandaid solution.
Thx. You don’t seem to be the only one.
In July 2022, Charlie Osborne of ZDNet suggested that individuals who suspect a Pegasus infection use a secondary device with GrapheneOS for secure communication.

I would say to just keep your OS and software and such up to date, enable features like Lockdown Mode on iOS if available to you, and just generally have good security practices. Really not much else you can do.
