Russia appears to be targeting journalists with spyware known as Pegasus.
-
Pegasus is a “zero-click” software, hacking phones by sending texts that don’t need to be opened.
-
The software has targeted dozens of journalists, activists, and politicians in recent years.
Which is why these people don’t use sms or standard calling. They use something like Signal.
Signal is great but if the phone itself is compromised it won’t help much.
