Does anyone know how this even works? Is the technology for this already in place?

    Ever hear of backdoors and a little spyware called Pegasus? Technology is already in place and NSA has been doing it since 9/11. All this spyware and it isn’t even effective.

      Pegasus uses exploits which are getting discovered and fixed. In theory, it’s getting harder for that model to work. Apple’s Lockdown mode defends against it for example. Very different from a sanctioned backdoor.

        Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised if Pegasus was being fixed. It’s been around for years now. But there will still be 0 days. They’re called 0 days because nobody knows about them yet.
