Pegasus is a spyware developed by NSO Group, an Israeli surveillance firm through which smart phones and other such devices can be hacked.
Pegasus can infect a device without the target’s engagement or knowledge. Pegasus has a unique edge over its competitors in the global spyware market as it hasthe capability of launching ‘network injection’ attacks — performed remotely without the target’s engagement (hence, also called zero-click).
All devices especially Apple iPhones have been widely targeted with Pegasus through Apple’s default iMessage app and the Push Notification Service (APNs) protocol.
Once infected, a phone becomes a digital spy under the attacker’s complete control.
