Mumbai: Pegasus spyware is the talk of the town right now. Pegasus spyware created by the Israeli firm NSO has once again come under discussion. The Israeli firm Pegasus claims to have tapped the phones of some of its ministers and journalists.
Pegasus is a spyware. This spyware is made by NSO Group of Israel. A list of possible spyware has been leaked. But do you have any idea what this Pegasus spyware is? So let’s find out today what Pegasus Spyware is and how it works.
What is Pegasus Spyware?
Pegasus Spyware is developed by the NSO Group of Israel. The company came into the limelight in 2016 after an Arab activist received a suspicious message on his mobile phone. He thought that the phones of iPhone users were being hacked by Pegasus. However, the iPhone company said that the updated version of iOS has eliminated the possibility of being hacked by Unpegas.
However, after a year, it came to light that Pegasus spyware can easily hack even Android phones. This has been confirmed by cyber security researchers. Facebook had also filed a complaint against the NSO group. Researchers researching Facebook’s cyber security were repeatedly asked what Pegasus was doing when they discovered that WhatsApp had been hacked by journalists and social activists in India.
How does Pegasus spyware work?
A link to a website is sent to the person whose phone is being hacked. This link opens that Pegasus is installed in his phone. Pegasus can also be installed through voice call security bugs and WhatsApp.
Pegasus’ system is so advanced that the user can be hacked even by giving a miscall. According to the researchers, once installed on the user’s mobile, his call logs, WhatsApp chats can be viewed. Reading WhatsApp messages, tracking calls, watching user activity can all be done easily with this Pegasus.
