‘Pegasus’ is a sophisticated spyware developed by the Israeli cybersecurity firm NSO Group.

It is designed to secretly infiltrate smartphones and other devices, allowing its operators to extract data, activate microphones and cameras, and track location without the user’s knowledge.

Pegasus gained significant international attention following reports by a consortium of journalists and organizations in 2021, which alleged its use by governments around the world for surveillance on journalists, human rights defenders, political opponents, and other targets.
