See how 17 news outlets are coming together to expose Pegasus spyware Shutterstock A version of this article first appeared in the “Reliable Sources” newsletter. And the revelations are only just beginning. The consortium began to publish its findings on Sunday. The stories indicate that numerous members of the media were “possible candidates for surveillance,” as The Guardian put it. Forensic tests affirmed the presence of spyware on some phones. More will be coming out in the days ahead. The participating news outlets are dubbing this the “Pegasus Project,” teeing off the name of the spyware, Pegasus, which is ostensibly licensed by NSO Group to track terrorists and major criminals. How has the spyware been used? Has it been abused? Those are two of the key questions.

Pegasus spyware: how does it work? - World

Most users would not be aware of their phones being hacked by the Pegasus spyware. AP Governments around the world are facing bombshell allegations that they used Israeli-made malware to spy on the phones of activists, journalists, corporate executives and politicians. But how exactly does the Pegasus spyware work? How does it get onto people s phones and what can it do once it s there? How does Pegasus sneak its way onto a phone? Researchers believe that early versions of the hacking software, first detected in 2016, used booby-trapped text messages to install itself onto the phones of targets. The recipient would have to click on a link in the message in order for the spyware to download. But this limited the chances of a successful installation particularly as phone users have grown increasingly wary of clicking on suspicious links.

Stars and Stripes - Key question for Americans overseas: Can their phones be hacked?

by Israeli spyware company NSO Group has said repeatedly that its surveillance tools do not work against smartphones based in the United States, but Americans traveling overseas and using foreign cellphones may not enjoy that protection. A list of more than 50,000 phone numbers that included some for documented surveillance targets also included the overseas phone numbers for about a dozen Americans, including journalists, aid workers, diplomats and others, according to an investigation by The Washington Post and 16 other news organizations. The investigation was unable to determine whether clients of NSO had delivered or attempted to deliver its Pegasus spyware to any of these numbers. But the presence of numbers used by American officials on the list highlighted questions about the national security threat posed by commercially available spyware.
