- 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.

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.

@Orthographix Well said. It would be nice to see some journalistic integrity but it seems in short supply.
Imagine America's response if this was Iran or Russia, and not Israel
Well said. Biden would have boiled like a volcano, if it were Iran or Russia.
So you really think America doesn’t do the same? At least Israel is not America’s enemy

@@shivab4241 Nice. I can feel the sarcasm dripping off that!
what a surprise... not like we've actually known about this for TEN YEARS! Thanks Snowden!
Yup and as per Snowden the uk government created the snoopers charter back in like 2011 to do this legally.
Even Snowden said this goes beyond what he warned against.. Watch his short TH-cam interview with the Guardian about this spyware today.
@@humanbeing8272 reply he's just trying to rally people again. This is exactly what he warned against back in 2013. The spyware isn't impressive nor novel.

I don't know how many hidden spy software still working now???

Sell it to dictatorships but make them promise they would only use it to investigate criminals. What could possibly go wrong?
not all of their costumers (hungary and mexico) are dictators, even they have some tendecies.

Capitalism doesn't consider the ethical implications, it's only motivating goals are profit, and shareholder satisfaction, both of which things more sales results in greater amounts of. Capitalism must end to see the end of such things.
Guess what, the biggest criminal in the world is a country called USA.
@Mao Oba Zedong heading towards totalitarianism if not complete dictatorship, cant even call it authoritarian cuz its already that on this point
Are we really going to pretend that this hasn’t already been used for years
it has been, the israelis have sold it to saudi and others, and have been doing so for years, several associated press and al jazeera reporters were targetted
Pretend? Did you watch the video? It explained how and from where this has been going on for years.
The US also hypocritically gathered their allies on China and Russia. But then turns a blind eye to this. Same with PRISM same with ECHELON.
It's almost like that's the story here.

WoW.🙏🏼
I'm a middle aged man, and my SON told me to contact these *MINSLEGEND,* and all I can say is the kids are alright. That this is what is going on on Instagram gives me hope for the future of humanity. Well done👏🏼
I build, repair and maintain PCs as an occupation and every time someone asks me about privacy, my copy-paste answer is: "if you care about privacy, first of all always read the manual of your apparatus and the terms of service for anything you use on it". It's a conversation killer.
Why not make it even more concise and respond with "What privacy?!" There is a backdoor to everything, esp that which us mere peons have access to. The only way to guarantee privacy is to communicate in the ol' fashion analogue way.
@@aminostruth3494 There are other ways toο, but I pointed to the fact that most people don't want to delve even into rudimentary information.
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.
So instead of being helpful you give them a jackass answer.
@@MrGold-lo6vc No friend, it's a joke to summarize the general underestimation of privacy risks. I'm a professional, I conform to the will and needs of my clients. If they want to be secure or at least care about it, of course, I advice them, it's my job the last 25 years. You know, most of my clients when the bell rings for the shortest of possible tech lessons, they just react REALLY NEGATIVLY, they don't want to go there. They don't want to learn about (fuck privacy, which is a vague term for most of the people) keyboard shortcuts and workflow solutions that will reduce timelines and enhance productivity. That's the real life.
Pegasus and prism going back to Edward Snowden that was reported 10 years ago also the fact that AT&T and Verizon was recording all of their subscribers phone calls and data and the list goes on and on and on
Remember , if you study computer science since it’s beginning, you can create your own hardware and software and be completely anonymous .
I found this to be especially concerning because of the scary background music

You don't need a smart phone. It's entirely possible to function without one, but they don't want people to realise this. I don't own one.
@@EgoChip it's entirely possible to function without electricity, duh
@@EgoChip But, presumably, you're still on some sort of personal computing device, using an account on a Google-owned platform.
@@Arado159
But you can realize this in a quite secure way.
You can use VPNs or the tor browser to hide your identity.
Or use open source operating systems to not have some government backdoor.
With a phone .. you have to use the proprietary software that comes with it. And you are pretty much completely vulnerable and exposed to what Apple or some other company does with your phone.
You can’t even access the hardware on most devices to see what’s in it..
Without smartphone you can't comment
Imagine if this was a Chinese company. Sanctions would fly everywhere but because it's Israeli, don't even expect any talks of sanctions.
exactly!
ANTI SEMETISM WAAAAA
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.
And this is why we need to go back to the era when we did not have smart phones. Ditch the smart phones!

Why are you suprised?
It's l;ike theyhave a shred of integrity.
Been over a year, please update us with the investigation, what progress has been made, and moves ya'll made. Too many humans are still being affected today in many aspects of their lives.
You can factory reset your phone, change your phone number, get a new phone, cover your cameras when not in use, block your microphone with some of that putty people use for cleaning electronics, and store your phone in a case, bag or box designed to block signal (metals will do this and there are products purposefully designed for this purpose). Just some ideas that came to my mind while watching this. 🙃
If you haven't seen Person Of Interest (POI) it'll give you some idea of where were heading.
That was a good show. That thought had crossed my mind when I was watching it, Its seriously scary.

@@eden5260 the state is aware of their dealings around the world, the same way China is aware of Huawei’s activities or Britain is aware of its arms companies’. Israel is no better than any other authoritarian state trying to blackmail democratic politicians and activists around the world.

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.
It bypasses all of that
@@nv_chinoyes. The above is nonsense advice
Is it possible that Apple allowed Pegasus to run within its main operating system codebase ? as it would be next to impossible for some apps to just get automatically installed and take photos, read messages, hack & send data without the consent of user - Apple guys need to clarify that their platform is really safe and not just ordinary type of phone OS with lots of cameras around
I think that it’s possible
It works via telephony network.
NSA helped develop it NSA had access to Google Amazon Facebook and Apple servers and internal code
Conspiracies
Aren't most apps able to do this... with our consent? Access to photos, microphone etc
Some don’t need your consent
Even apps like google docs will now go through all your files and report “illegal” materials or straight up delete “misinformation”
Edit: It’s in the new T&Cs
@@thomasace2547 Wow I didn't know they had been doing that. It really is creepy how far they can reach. I try not to use any Google products for work because I remember reading T&C of a "free" note pad app. The bit that concerned me the most (other than handing over your data to federal authorities on request) was that ideas that you may be writing down for a book or any creative endeavour can be read and stolen/plagiarised.

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.

We will not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men - not from men who feared to write, to speak, to associate, and to defend causes that were, for the moment, unpopular"

They should make phones more manual. Make it possible to remove the battery, analog on/off switches of the camera and microphone and so on. And they should implement crypto end-to-end based communication on everything. And there should be a very high penalty on breaking the rules.
