Pegasus (software)

Pegasus is a sophisticated software tool developed by a cybersecurity firm that enables it to secretly monitor and gather information from smartphones. Using vulnerabilities in the device's operating system, Pegasus can access messages, emails, calls, photos, and even activate microphones or cameras without the user knowing. It is primarily designed for government agencies to combat crime and terrorism, but its use raises significant privacy and ethical concerns due to its ability to covertly spy on individuals.
