It is the name for perhaps the most powerful piece of spyware ever developed – certainly by a private company. Once it has wormed its way on to your phone, without you noticing, it can turn it into a 24-hour surveillance device. It can copy messages you send or receive, harvest your photos and record your calls. It might secretly film you through your phone’s camera, or activate the microphone to record your conversations. It can potentially pinpoint where you are, where you’ve been, and who you’ve met.
Pegasus is the hacking software – or spyware – that is developed, marketed and licensed to governments around the world by the Israeli company NSO Group. It has the capability to infect billions of phones running either iOS or Android operating systems.
Anyone who knows anything about facial recognition software and backdoors has their camera taped.
Also, limiting all apps privileges goes a long way.
If there was a way to snuff the microphone and still use the phone, you bet your ass they’d be doing that as well.

Seems kind of weird to me that he even has a phone with a working camera in the first place. I kind of figured when you were in such a high position you would either have specially designed phones that didn’t have things like a camera or accurate location tracking, or at least a regular one that was modified to make those features dysfunctional.
I’ve never really paid attention to powerful people’s phones before though.

Mark Zuckerberg covers the camera on his devices with tape as well. So does former FBI director Jim Comey.

We got his geo tag and just look through other phones around him. It’s no use.
