Niesławny Usecrypt reklamował się swego czasu jako komunikator, który skutecznie wykrywa Pegasusa na telefonach. Dlaczego mijał się z prawdą i dlaczego w zasadzie żadna aplikacja nie może zaoferować takiej funkcji, wyjaśnił w obszernym artykule @InfZakladowy (tekst jest sprzed paru lat, ale nie stracił w tej kwestii na aktualności)
🌍 U.S. imposes visa restrictions on those (developers, sellers, beneficiaries, and companies) involved in illegal surveillance through commercial #spyware like #Pegasus.
Israel #NSO Group's #Pegasus#spyware targeted nearly 3 dozen journalists, activists, and lawyers in Jordan, raising concerns about privacy violations and government abuse.
Właśnie zapadł pierwszy wyrok sądu, w którym zakwestionowano dowody pozyskane za pomocą #Pegasus.
Sąd Apelacyjny we Wrocławiu nie dopuścił w sprawie karnej dowodów uzyskanych przez CBA za pomocą Pegasusa i uniewinnił jednego z oskarżonych. Sąd uznał niedopuszczalność takich dowodów, ponieważ:
Program umożliwia skuteczne monitorowanie, zbieranie i pobieranie danych z zainfekowanego nim urządzenia. Może też zostać użyty do modyfikowania zawartości urządzenia – określonych jego treści.

"Two Human Rights Watch staff members based in Jordan have been repeatedly targeted with advanced surveillance spyware, Human Rights Watch said today. The targeting, which violates their right to privacy, began in October 2022 and succeeded briefly in infecting one of their mobile phones.
The same spyware was also used to target the devices of at least 33 Jordanian and Jordan-based journalists, activists, and politicians between 2019 and September 2023, according to an Access Now report, released on February 1, 2024, that relied on a forensic investigation conducted jointly with the Canadian academic research center, Citizen Lab. The investigation found traces of Pegasus spyware in their mobile devices, with some devices infected multiple times. The analysis could not determine which government initiated the attacks."

The #NSO Group raised security alarms this week, and once again, it’s the devastatingly powerful #Pegasus malware that was deployed in Jordan to spy on journalists and activists.
#CyberSecurity#Spyware#NSOGroup#Pegasus#Jordan: "A new joint investigation, Between a hack and a hard place: how Pegasus spyware crushes civic space in Jordan, by Access Now, the Citizen Lab, and local partners reveals the widespread use of Israeli-owned NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware in Jordan. At least 35 journalists, activists, human rights lawyers, and civil society members have been targeted with Pegasus between 2019 and 2023. Read the full report.
The Pegasus hacking comes against a backdrop of escalating crackdowns on civic space and press freedom in Jordan, growing instability and violence across the region, and an increasingly-exposed use of invasive spyware across the globe. Among those targeted are two Jordan-based staff at Human Rights Watch, as confirmed by a forensic analysis conducted by Human Rights Watch in collaboration with Amnesty International’s Security Lab."
