Pegasus Project

A software glitch in a Saudi women’s rights activist’s iPhone turned the tide against NSO Group, one of the world’s most sophisticated spyware companies, which is now facing a cascade of legal action and scrutiny in Washington over allegations that its software was used to hack government officials and dissidents around the world.

Israel's top defence committee will convene a special session on the use of "offensive cyberarms" in the wake of international backlash over the alleged misuse of NSO Group's Pegasus software.

Dr Santanu Sen was today suspended from the House for the remaining part of the monsoon session for snatching IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw's statement on the Pegasus affair and flinging them amid the uproar in Parliament yesterday.

Amnesty International said today it "categorically stands by Pegasus Project findings" and rejected "false rumours pushed on social media".

With the controversy over the Pegasus project sparking a row, Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge has alleged that the government is trying to scuttle down the issue.

Israel has set up a senior inter-ministerial team to "look into" proliferating allegations that spyware sold by a Israeli cyber firm has been abused on a global scale, an Israeli source said on Wednesday.

Pegasus Spyware has evolved over time and it now uses zero-click attacks and network injection methods to infect phones. The spyware affects both Android and iOS devices and is able to read the victim’s SMS messages and emails, listen to calls, take screenshots, record keystrokes, and access contacts and browser history.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Tuesday said the Pegasus Project media report issue is a matter of serious national security concern and the government needs to give an explanation on it.

Pegasus zero-click attacks via iMessage have been used to install spyware on iPhone units, Amnesty reveals in its latest investigation. Amnesty International says that it was able to confirm that thousands of iPhone handsets were listed as potential targets for Pegasus spyware, though it was not possible to confirm how many were successfully hacked...

Israel-based NSO Group’s Pegasus is being used to spy on journalists, human rights activists, and political dissidents, according to an investigation by a global media consortium based on leaked targeting data.

With the government granting flying licences to four of the six companies which had sought permits for launching scheduled, private or charter air operations, several more new airlines are likely to fly in the Indian skies in the coming months.
