It's extremely dangerous but the pegasus issue is largely a media red herring to avoid discussion of 5 eyes (14 eyes) epic global spying. Why western media don't like Pegasus is someone is cutting into their spying grass. Either end spying globally, including downscaling organizations like NSA, GHCQ, and Chinese, Russian and other large counterparts or a natural consequence is other countries will spy on the countries that lament about spying then hypocritically spy. Perhaps Pegasus democratization of spying will be a wake up call for the governments of 14 eyes nations. If foreign governments are tapping their own phones, like they have been doing ot others for decades, then maybe they will see why mass computer surveillance they'be been doing of foreign states is morally wrong. Mind you that's wishful thinking. What's more likely to happen is virtue signalling hypocrisy.

When a government commissions anything for use, their justification is always "it will be used against our enemies" but invariably it will always be turned inwards against it's own people.

I had it, or something similar, used on my phone back in 2019. My ex's baby daddy was involved in the Cartel in Cbus, Ohio. About 8 months before he got busted, I noticed my phone, my hirls phone, and her sons phone was acting strangly and possibly hacked. I informed her ex of this while dropping her son off one day. Then, all of the sudden. I had several cars following me and my phone was torally acting weird! I was being followed by some group. I think it was the FBI because they busted the Columbus Police Cartel Unit for being crooked about 8 months after her ex was arrested by the Cartel Unit 😮 So, im a believer and i know what they did to me was illegal because i wasnt involved in anything criminal. This needs to stop because it was incredibly frightening!! Good Show guys!
What an enthralling captivating discussion! Thank you David! I look forward to hearing more! 👍👏
Hi.Thanks for very in-depth video. If I have installed a distro such as arch linux on your phone, then access still be gained to your phone?
Thank you !!😊 It helped me learn about the danger lurking around me.
Thanks David Bombal, just one quick request. Next time you interview OTW, can you ask about the release date of 'cyberwarrior handbook'?, because I already have read all his other books.

Technical details aside, it's easier to make mistakes on an android because your phone allows you to. A lot of iOS security is designed around blocking you from compromising your device. Android doesn't tend to care beyond asking "Are you sure?"

Back in the DOS days, PC Tools, did a program byte count of the code in a software product. If the scanner found a different number of code bytes, say less or more, than the original known ( size ) of the code including key, count, it would send up the red flag. Think about thar for a second. One way to detect key loggers is get your hard drive used information motion, type 100 words on notepad, the delete it, re read hard drive bytes used,if it's the same count after you erased it, that's good, but if now you drive says it's more than the count you first logged, say about the amount you typed in, I would suspect a keylogger installed. Keep a watchful eye on disk storage usage. It's a pain, but.
there should be a rule that all email client applications are required to run in a sandbox regardless of how thoroughly annoying this is.

Regards Pegasus if its sending messages back to servers would this traffic not end up detected by BOT activity security? I wounder if Zscaler et al could detect this malicious communication from the device to identify it as compromised?
Cant get enough of your content gents. More please! You're the perfect combination... IMHO
Thanks for the video. I have known about this technology for a while and even had a tech demonstrate it on one of our instructors phone. Question...if you ditch that smartphone and get a different handset is Pegasus transfered to the new one. Or would that agency have to target the new handset and infect it? Thankyou!!
New to the channel. The convos have been very insightful. Much thanksnto your guests for coming on and sharing their knowledge and experiences in the cyber world. I was wondering, have you every talked with the author of "This Is How They Tell Me The World End", NICOLE PERLROTH. I just finished her book. Her breakdown of the cat and mouse for the cyber exploit market is jaw dropping. There were somethings I was aware but she connected the names and marked the timeline for how the market started and has developed over the year. Would be a interesting guess even though she not a actual hacker.
Lol,Love how he's right,He said there's really no way to scan for any of these because when hackers catch wind that you're on to them they jump ship.

I remember many many years ago, I had to learn how to hack/crack so that I could properly protect clients, I did PEN testing for companies often.
hay could you do a practical example of how to set up a subnet. I looked up a few tutorials but they all only explain the theory and how tlit works with IP but no practical examples of how to set it up on routers
This couldnt have been timed before! Pegasus was my blindspot.
I'd love to see a video on hacking and AI and how crazy things might or could get in the future while we still have the training wheels on for AI? The last part of the video really made me think hmmmm AI hacking big problem?!
This is more exciting and interesting than Netflix! ,
Why isn't it stopped by firewalls or detected by router software?
Thank you for the video. I am new in hacking and interested in learning. How can i become a student of the facilitator/join his class?? Thanks
In passing I'd really like you to touch up on LOIC(Low Orbit Iron Cannon) and the evolution of DOS/DDOSes.
When I got a device that monitors my data usage (up and down) in the upper right hand corner, bc it is integrated in my custom Rom and I'm not doing anything, then "sb listening to my mic or taking pictures/a video of me" (I got stickers), will result in data usage, which I will notice eventually.
I had a iphone 12 around the time this video came out and i got on my phone and it was in the files and the only file that was there was Pegasus, i tried to factory reset but my phones screen flashed and i was at the startup screen that said my phone was locked due to the passcode being changed...

I was staying at a hotel one time and overnight the first night, I got an alert that my phone had used 50GB of mobile data. If I recall correctly, I had tried to join a wireless network at the airport that was not successful. Always wondered what the heck it was that happened. I figure either my phone was hacked and they got all my pics including nudes lol. Or the only other possibility is that I fell asleep as I was browsing a web page that had some videos and things playing, and maybe that stupid website was downloading crap ads and videos all night.
