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

    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.
