Pegasus

Pegasus is an advanced spyware developed by the NSO Group, an Israeli technology firm. It can infiltrate smartphones, allowing remote access to texts, calls, emails, and even the device's camera and microphone. Typically used by governments to target criminals or terrorists, Pegasus has raised serious concerns about privacy and human rights due to reports of its misuse against journalists, activists, and political opponents. The software exploits vulnerabilities in mobile operating systems, making it difficult to detect, and its existence has sparked heated debates about surveillance, cybersecurity, and ethical boundaries in technology.
