Pegasus is military-grade spyware sold to nation-states, governments and agencies, ostensibly to fight crime
"Pegasus spyware is capable of bypassing your phone's security and gaining complete access to your device - including emails, messages, GPS location, photos, video, and your phone's microphone. A Guardian investigation can now reveal widespread abuse of the Pegasus technology by government clients around the world who purchased the spyware from its Israeli manufacturer — the NSO Group. People who were selected as possible targets include journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7H9uo3j5FQ , https://www.youtube.com/guardian/videos
