The Spy in Your Phone | Al Jazeera World
In mid-2020, a mobile phone belonging to an Al Jazeera Arabic investigative team was hacked. Over the next few months, reporter Tamer Almisshal and the Canadian research group Citizen Lab investigated Pegasus, the sophisticated spyware used.
Pegasus is manufactured by an Israeli technology company called the NSO Group and is among the most advanced spyware in the world. It can access and infiltrate a smartphone without the owner clicking a link, opening an email or even answering their phone - meaning it can go undetected.
This investigation exposes how Pegasus works, how governments like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have bought the hugely expensive spyware and how it has been used beyond the stated intentions of the NSO Group of “developing technology to prevent and investigate terror and crime” - including to target journalists.
Who ever hackes my phone will only see me watching useless KZhead videos
If you really knew what the CIA the FBI the NSA department of Justice and all the other departments were doing you would cry!
I've been consistently impressed with Al Jazeera's reporting. Please keep up the good work.
Anyone who hacked my phone, would be very bored!
Part of the problem is companies like Apple designing a phone that doesn't allow you to properly turn it off.
All the comments here are SPAM!
This whole design started when the battery of your phone was no longer removable.
What is with this flooded comment thread. Someone wants to prevent conversation
We purchase the phone with our own money but other people are in control of it
☝If you want something like this done you should really seek out experts , see tips
Smart phones are not a necessity...they are a convenience to weaken people. I'm proud to not own one.
It is very critical issue and should be exposed for protect privacy purposes and each and every human rights.
National Security and prevention of terrorism are the greatest pretexts that governments use to violate human rights of their citizens.

Al Jazeera is the best news reports, because they genuinely have true stuff
It should be a national issue. If a country can be held accountable as a sponsor of terror, a country should he held liable for companies distributing spyware and malware.
probably one of the few
