The company and the product
The spy software, called Pegasus, is available for sale from the Israeli NSO Group Technologies. It is an Israeli technology company based in Herzliya near Tel Aviv.
The company, which employs about 500 employees, has been mainly developing monitoring software and technology since its inception in 20210.
Pegasus spyware allows remote monitoring of smartphones (Android, iOS, etc.) and is installed in seconds. Officially, the company has its software only in states to fight terrorism and crime. But its client list is probably more extensive.

In August 2021, the French national security service Anssi confirmed that the Israeli NSO Pegasus spy software was found on a journalist smartphone. Then last week, it became known that traces of the Pegasus surveillance software (also known as the state Trojan) were found on the smartphones of French politicians (namely, five ministers or ministers of the French government).
The Pegasus malware Its amazing to be used for mass monitoring, as the cost per person monitored is too high. However, some users may be wondering if the devices are infected.
