The malware, Pegasus, was created by Israeli cyber-security firm NSO Group and has been around for at least three years.
The malware can operate on both Android and iOS devices, mostly spotted targeting iPhone users. On infected devices, Pegasus is a powerful spyware that can do many things, such as record conversations, steal private messages, exfiltrate photos, and much much more.
In many instances, the spyware was used by Oppressive Government regimes to spy on journalists, human rights defenders, opposition politicians, lawyers, and anti-corruption advocates.
In July this year, Israeli authorities arrested a former NSO Group employee for stealing the source code of the Pegasus spyware and attempting to sell it on the Dark Web for $50 million.
Who is spaying on you?
