The Guardian newspaper has highlighted the perils of government sanctioned cyber-surveillance, following its exposé of Pegasus, a sophisticated piece of malware that is being used by authoritarian regimes to target activists, politicians, and journalists. So, what is Pegasus? How does it work? Can you protect yourself? Let's find out.

There's a phone called librem and pinephone. It runs linux but the software support is far from better. Ofcourse it will open a whole new box of vulnerabilities but atleast it has hard switches. We seriously need to support these developers (by buying the phone or just donating to them). So that the development process will be accelerated and we will get a serious competitor to android or ios

Thanks for another great video. Regarding your advice to always update to the latest version of your OS. Do you think that goes for the first version of a major new release as well? Like the upcoming iOS 15, for example. Apple has a tendency to release a first update fairly soon after a major release to fix the most severe bugs etc. Do you think that I, strictly from a security perspective, should install the major new release immediately, or wait for the first update? Do major new releases suffer enough bugs to tip the scales?

A VM did come to mind... I'm not sure it wouldn't be effective. Pegasus can't be perfect. I'm not saying they can't hack it, I'm just saying they gotta prioritize, and some things are lower priority than others. Not many people would use a VM for this, and even if you hacked the VM, it's on another machine, and the gains might be quite low. This might make it a low priority.

@@ManthaarJanyaro I care more about security more than I do about privacy. De googled phone is a very good option for privacy but what about security because as I said earlier its google that makes Android usable. And honestly I love google for this that they haven't just left android devices which are sold by other OEMs. They actually care about any android device you buy.

@@jdeep7 i think NSO is not that stupid to let an employee blow the whistle , because believe it or not many powerful governments are involved. NSO must have some kind of leverage on their employees. and yes amnesty changed its statement to potential targets making the whole story void and null.

I hope future phone cameras will have physical camera cover and may be a led indicator hardwired with the mics so that when a mic is on the led can indicate. Not very convenient but may be not a bad idea.

I use sensors disable option in developer menu, this forbids access to camera, mic, location(I hope), but probably a malware has access (as google has) above all restrictions. Tested with Facebook and instagram access to a camera crashes the app.

There have been VERY few attack vectors that simply required clicking a link. It most cases, clicking a link is fine because even if the link starts an auto download, you would still have to actually click on the downloaded item and run it for the attack to work. Downloaded files do not automatically execute.

Ever heard of browser APIs and WASM? There're plenty of ways how a WASM module can bypass browser sandboxing to infect a machine(basically in many ways: writing to storage/scheduling a malicious task/performing some calculations/accessing other processes' memory/etc or combined) having such a privilege as a "User's click". I'm not gonna say that we have to get rid of WASM or that it's so easy to do, but it's clearly possible to download and execute something with a single click.

@@iaros.h I didn't mean it was impossible, just extremely unlikely. The kind of link clicking most people would be thinking of would be the random text messages spammers, or coming across a malicious link while browsing the web, and in those cases your chances of clicking anything that is a one click download & execute are basically non-existent. One click download & execute links are going to be used in VERY targeted attacks and/or by government agencies, which 99% of people don't need to worry about. Nobody who has a working one click link exploit is going to blast it all over the web or spam it in text messages where it will be found and patched quickly. They will keep it quiet and use it very sparingly in highly targeted attacks.

I was under the assumption that ALL digital traffic was stored on the super computers in Utah anyway. I guess Pegasus just helped rip off data that wouldn't be sent to Utah automatically. So now that people are making UKposts videos about pegasus the NSO group most likely has Peg 2 nearly ready to go.

Is the malware permanent? I remember reading several security publications stating that it was in fact possible to perform zero touch hacks on Android as well as iOS with latest updates respectively. But none of the different malwares were able to survive a fresh boot due to very tight boot partition security (especially Samsung KNOX).

I wonder if any among the compromised devices listed in the leak runs Linux, and how safe are Linux phones in general. Since some of the targeted individuals are serious journalists doing an essential job, it is important they continue to have access to secure devices, maybe a secondary device running Linux could be a good tool if they prove to be safer.

@American Freedom World Peace I meant as a secondary device, especially for journalists and human rights activists, maybe even politicians. Unfortunately Linux phones aren't mature enough to be the main daily driver, but they could potentially be a fantastic secondary device and keep private information more secure.
