"In short, Pegasus is commercial spyware. Unlike the malware used by cybercriminals to make money by stealing from and cheating their victims, Pegasus is designed solely for spying. Once it has secretly infected a smartphone (Android or iOS), it can turn it into a fully-fledged surveillance device. SMS messages, emails, WhatsApp messages, iMessages, and more, are all open for reading and copying. It can record incoming and outgoing calls, as well as steal all the photos on the device. Plus it can activate the microphone and/or the camera and record what is being said. When you combine that with the potential to access past and present location data, it is clear that those listening at the other end know almost everything there is to know about anyone that is targeted."
yup, this is why getting hacked is called getting "owned", pwned, etc. once i compromise your computer, it is no longer your computer. it is *MY* computer! with smartphones, the stakes are that much higher. (they're just computers after all... :) best regards, -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iNUEAREKAH0WIQRBwSuMMH1+IZiqV4FlqEfnwrk4DAUCYP8ufl8UgAAAAAAuAChp c3N1ZXItZnByQG5vdGF0aW9ucy5vcGVucGdwLmZpZnRoaG9yc2VtYW4ubmV0NDFD MTJCOEMzMDdEN0UyMTk4QUE1NzgxNjVBODQ3RTdDMkI5MzgwQwAKCRBlqEfnwrk4 DCrfAPsH+17DovuJuFzEhIE5xDoaoCZV3XR5+Jzakgs4bP3qYQEAuMMqsPK8vhc4 DAZNlAYr8ajOjMKbQLTLOyJTJx2El50= =uENU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
