Pegasus updated guide: How it infects phones, what it does, how to detect and get rid of it

India Today  

There are fresh reports about Pegasus, the spyware that we first heard of in 2016. NSO Group has clarified that it sells Pegasus only to governments, while India has called the fresh reports "fishing expedition, based on conjectures and exaggerations to malign the Indian democracy and its institutions." While its maker claims that the spyware "leaves no traces whatsoever," a new Forensic Methodology Report by Amnesty International's Security Lab shows forensic traces left by the spyware on iOS and Android devices. In recent months, according to the reports, NSO Group is even using servers managed by cloud computing providers like Amazon Web Services to deliver Pegasus to phones. It's also noteworthy that Pegasus could even listen to encrypted audio streams and read encrypted messages — thanks to its keylogging and audio recording capabilities, it was stealing messages before they were encrypted."
