Pegasus Spyware Found on Devices of Business Leaders and Everyday Users

iVerify's new spyware detection tool reveals that Pegasus infections extend beyond activists and journalists, affecting a broader range of individuals.

iVerify's spyware detection tool identified Pegasus infections on seven devices out of 2,500 scans since May 2024, including iPhones running recent iOS versions.
The findings challenge the narrative that Pegasus primarily targets activists and journalists, with business leaders and government officials also affected.
Pegasus spyware, developed by NSO Group, exploits zero-day vulnerabilities and can compromise devices without user interaction, such as through iMessages.
The iVerify app allows users to scan their devices for spyware for as little as $1, with options for more frequent scans via subscriptions.
Experts warn that the proliferation of spyware and its misuse, including potential commercial espionage, highlights growing cybersecurity risks for a wider range of individuals.
