Pegasus Spyware Infections Surge Across Mobile Devices

Cybersecurity firm iVerify has detected new infections of the Pegasus spyware, developed by NSO Group, on mobile devices of ordinary professionals and civilians, challenging the belief that such spyware only targets high-profile individuals. Their Mobile Threat Hunting feature found a 2.5 per 1,000 scan infection rate, revealing a more widespread issue than previously thought. The findings highlight significant gaps in current mobile security practices and emphasize the need for more robust, user-accessible security measures.
