Pegasus: the spyware technology that threatens democracy

Pegasus spyware is capable of bypassing your phone's security and gaining complete access to your device - including emails, messages, GPS location, photos, video, and your phone's microphone.
Subscribe to The Guardian on KZread ► bit.ly/subscribegdn
A Guardian investigation can now reveal widespread abuse of the Pegasus technology by government clients around the world who purchased the spyware from its Israeli manufacturer - the NSO Group. People who were selected as possible targets include journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders.

    If you want anything kept private on a computer, simply never put it online or connect to any online networks, and don't connect any drives with the data to any online devices. As soon as you are online, assume privacy is gone because no matter how good your expertise, or ethical and secure your OS and software is, there is always the risk that it can be bypassed. Even security services ultimately know who you are, when you use a VPN they have your details and can you really trust them to use them responsibly and lawfully? Never underestimate the weakness of people, especially when it comes to greed and threats to their livelihoods.

    The difference is that it's a private company working for its personal economic gain, it's not a technology sanctioned or commanded by the Israeli government. There are many companies in democratic countries working to undermine democracy by exporting horrendous things such as poison gas components (German companies in Iraq and Syria), nuclear components, spyware and of course weapons into dictatorial countries. That however is a very different thing than a dictatorial government perpetrating those hacks themselves like Russia does. Russia is so infamous that it is even blacklisted by the Pegasus creators. Their blacklist includes 20 countries, so only the worst of the worst offenders imaginable. The Israeli government isn't really at fault here unless you want the Israeli government to completely ban this company from doing what it does. Few governments ever ban unethical practices of private companies, Israel just isn't an exception. Considering how many lobbyists are lobbying Israeli governments to further the interests of cyber-startups, this is unlikely as internet technology startups are an incredibly important economic factor in Israel, saying many of its jobs.

    Pegasus tool is using services that automatically download stuff. For instance finding a vulnerability in the iphone mail app, then infecting the phone by sending something through email, it gets automatically downloaded as mail service is running in background usually. So its using apps that are running in the background automatically, Ways to protect against pegasus: - Dont download unnecessary apps - Keep your device software updated - Keep your apps updated - Switch off app background refresh - Switch off internet (Mobile data) on apps and only turn it on when you want to use those apps then switch it back off again - For Iphone, Switch off Imessage unless you are using it. - If you dont need iCloud then switch your connection with iCloud off as device can get infected through iCloud running service. This doesn’t protect you 100% but it does make it harder to infect your device.

    You don't need buy Pegasus to do all this. If you can install a spyware in any device it becomes automatically infected and hard to remove.

    Hasn't the Echelon system been doing this already since the late 60's? It's not the technology that's scary, it's the normalisation of it within our lives. This could effectively be the core origin acting as the catalyst for the end of Democracy.

    Tape up your phone cameras. Don't keep your phone in the same room when you talk. Don't store important files on your phone. We need to stop them!

    keep your phone inside a Faraday case when not in use. this prevents the phone from receiving/emitting electromagnetic radiation, fields, & signals. this is much more effective in protecting your privacy than simply turning off your phone, taking out the battery, turning on airplane mode, etc.... USE A FARADAY CASE. use secure & private GNU/Linux distros such as TAILS, QubesOS, or WhonixOS for storing critical/sensitive data.

    Or just don't use a mobile phone. Go back to old fashioned land line, or use a cheap burner phone without a camera or fancy GPS tracking devices.

    The same program was found on Jamal Khashoggis phone before he was assassinated and cut up in Saudi Arabia's embassy in Turkey. NSO had sold the program to Saudis and is directly complicit in the killing.
