"Once installed, Pegasus has been reported to be able to run arbitrary code, extract contacts, call logs, messages, photos, web browsing history, settings, as well as gather information from apps including but not limited to communications apps iMessage, Gmail, Viber, Facebook, WhatsApp, Telegram, and Skype."

Is this stuff actually happening in the wild, though? To random, unimportant people? The iOS security hole was probably fixed before the version was abandoned on old devices, and Pegasus is probably mostly used in targeted attacks. Right?

  Let’s assume Pegasus is the furthest upstream (first to hack). Once it is fixed, security researchers (or hackers) can learn what the exploit was and how to use it. How long before it ends up in something like metasploit?
