Pegasus (like all products in that space) is an on-prem product, NSO send you the system limited to a number of usages and certain phone number restrictions and then you use it.
To counter: do you really think every country purchasing Pegasus would want the Israeli government and NSO to be able to access all that information on their targets?
- yuvadam 5y agoCounter-argument: do you really think NSO would release their 0-click exploits to an on prem product that they have no control over? Citizen Lab reports show significant involvement of exploit delivery cloud infrastructure + plausible deniability.
- nneonneo 5y agoA sufficiently determined user (and these are often national governments) could easily target a phone they control. With sufficient monitoring and logging they could grab the exploit directly. The only thing stopping them is whatever contract/“EULA” they signed agreeing not to reverse engineer the product, and I doubt the big spooks would care about such a thing.
