How much are you aware of this Internaional exploit that has been discovered.

If you can't give more information than that, why even bother to post?

Hello. Nothing like that can be in MY phone
If a person bought an expensive smartphone with the latest operating system on board, then he WILL be afraid.
Fear is a payment for using such a equipment + a pale face, constant updates, fear of theft of funds from accounts

It's kinda humorous that a user named "Flash" chooses to curse the darkness ..

Here is the Candle ..

The International alert is published and reported with interviews as well in both audio and video formats.

Here's another site with info, as requested (I think/hope the 2nd post is a request). and here and US reporting as well

Thanks for the links.

So NSO's Pegasus spyware is loaded into your phone, perhaps your computer as well, by redirecting your browser. I've seen a setting in either SeaMonkey or Firefox that is supposed to prevent that. I can't find it in Firefox's Preferences. Maybe it's in SeaMonkey's. I don't have SeaMonkey at the moment. (Slacko64 8.0.1)

If you have not already seen it, look for "How Pegasus infiltrates a phone and what it can do" in this report

NPR News Hour just had a segment on this tonite 7PM EDT. It is a targetted software, usually deployed upon journalists. IMHO the NSO spokesperson has been brainwashed. Apple today also confirmed the existance in iPhone 12's, and iOS 14.6... BUT the software DOES NOT SURVIVE a full reboot. So... one might just reboot their smartphone as initial check. Because there are no 'remnants', its nearly impossible to discover if such phone WAS infected prior to reboot. And of course the neo-paranoid will reboot daily JIC dodgy websites have loaded it.

Here's what Edward Snowden has to say about Pegasus:

Governments must impose a global moratorium on the international spyware trade or face a world in which no mobile phone is safe from state-sponsored hackers...

A nice sentiment, but it ain't going to happen.

Check your smartphone for this exploit

Even as the instructions are given, a PET/SFS is needed for detection on your device.

Sales of simple (NOT smartphones) push-button phones in Russia grew by 6.7% in the first half of 2021

HOwto Protect Yourself advice presented

Just remove all of the google stuff... with ADB

then find alternatives...

For example "Aurora store"

I know is that mostly the 1% guys that are android coders give out this information....but it is out there... if you have the hours to search...

If you do this search, you can't have Pegasus ...IMO...

You also need a phone fire wall log to see what is happening when leave it logging and see the next day the logs..

I know it takes research but mostly is just researching what other people have already figured out...with you being an android developer, this:
