Summary Pegasus spyware (developed by the Israeli cyberarms firm NSO Group) can be covertly installed on mobile phones and devices running most versions of iOS and Android. On 2020-08-23 NSO Group sold Pegasus spyware software to the United Arab Emirates and the other Gulf States for surveillance of anti-regime activists, journalists, and political leaders from rival nations. Later investigations covered Pegasus penetration into the phones of media professionals and activists, and its use by Israel to eavesdrop on opponents and allies. In 2021-07 human rights group Amnesty International uncovered that Pegasus was being widely used against high-profile targets.
