NSO Pegasus Malware - How Governments spy on any phone

Intro ------- Pegasus is spyware developed by NSO Group and is sold to Governments across the globe to conduct eavesdropping missions. The malware has been well documented by journalists due to its apparent mis-use by some Governments, and in July 2021 Forbidden Stories revealed they had obtained a list of 50k potential targets of the spyware. In this video I give an over of Pegasus and NSO Group behind it, some techniques to analyse "alleged" Pegasus malware samples - and share my opinions on why most samples are probably not what they seem. Finally I provide a rather unique insight into what I believe to be an ongoing malicious campaign to distribute this malware through popular messagings apps like Telegram and WhatsApp. Further Research --------------------------- Throughout the video I mention a supporting document with additional details and further analysis.
