Israel-based NSO Group has been making waves in the cybersecurity community in recent years, becoming the target of an Apple lawsuit and sanctions from the US government. That didn’t stop the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) from almost using the company’s powerful yet shady Pegasus spyware in criminal investigations, according to a report from The New York Times. The agency ultimately decided against deploying the spyware, but it would seem the project got very close to becoming reality.

NSO Group frames itself as a cyber-intelligence and security firm, but it’s best known for building malware that has been used to surveil activists, journalists, and government officials around the world. Pegasus has become known in the cybersecurity world because of its advanced features and ease of deployment. While most pieces of malware require either physical access or some form of user interaction to install, Pegasus leverages private “zero-day” exploits to install itself silently on targeted smartphones. NSO Group used Apple’s own iCloud service to help stuff the malware onto iPhones, which led to the lawsuit.

Once running on a target device, Pegasus connects to a command and control server from which the operator can monitor communications, activate the camera or microphone, and exfiltrate stored data. It’s a nasty piece of malware, and naturally, the FBI was interested in taking advantage of it for criminal investigations. According to the report, between late 2020 and early 2021, the FBI was testing a version of Pegasus called Phantom that was designed to target US phone numbers. The bureau was apparently so far along in the project that it had drawn up guidelines for federal prosecutors that explained how to talk (or not talk) about the FBI’s use of Pegasus during court proceedings.

Did you mean to reply to someone else? Because the post I put up was regarding the TFR placed around Mar-A-Lago.

Happens to the best of us — just glad to know I’m not the only one! LOL :-)

Does this include the jabbed that are being murdered by the poison vaccine?
