In mid-2020, a mobile phone belonging to an Al Jazeera Arabic investigative team was hacked. Over the next few months, reporter Tamer Almisshal and the Canadian research group Citizen Lab investigated Pegasus, the sophisticated spyware used.
Pegasus is manufactured by an Israeli technology company called the NSO Group and is among the most advanced spyware in the world. It can access and infiltrate a smartphone without the owner clicking a link, opening an email or even answering their phone – meaning it can go undetected.
This investigation exposes how Pegasus works, how governments like Saudi Arabia and the UAE have bought the hugely expensive spyware and how it has been used beyond the stated intentions of the NSO Group of “developing technology to prevent and investigate terror and crime” – including to target journalists.
Every single phone after they purchased by a purchaser it’s identity identified by the government, and once it’s connected to a curtain type of wireless or wire connection, it’s the time they can see your location with your name ,address, phone number and can get access to your phone data everytime they want… no way you get rid of it unless you don’t use them
Exactly every and any system can be Hacked🙄 and when you stop using them, they ask?
“Is this your number?🤔
….and Hamas screwed their weak spider network on the 7th of October.
In EACH PHONE DEVICE, regardless of if its android or iPhone… in the settings, there is an inbuilt options setting that is greyed out so that it can NEVER EVER be PRIVATE or SHUT OFF – this SECTION is for POLICE and GOVERNMENT SURVELENCE of YOUR PHONE in EVERY COUNTRY to have ACCESS to SPY on CITIZENS phones as and when they please. There is nothing anyone can do about it as it can’t be modified by a user or a developer… its orogrammedninto the phone and can’t be amended by anyone, and it gives governments and police total access to EVERYTHING on your phone. Using phones, we aid the government in accessing our lives more efficiently than if we don’t have a phone. ALSO, DO YOU KNOW that regardless of iPhone or android, your phone automatically takes photos every 5 seconds for the duration of the life of your phone from front and back end cameras .. so it has a lot of image data on your company and your whereabouts also. The only way to stop that is to cover both camera lenses when you are not using your camera.. but developers can also build in cameras on the front interface of your phone so that they may already be there in which police and governments can still take images every 5 mins regardless if you have your camera lenses blocked.
You can see that the photos have been taken every 5 secsnifnyou are in a darkened room with an infra red light, you will see your camera taking the pictures every 5 seconds.
Our devises arw entertainment and handy life hacks for us but give police and governments a control over lives that thwy never had when we didn’t have these smartphones.
It’s the price we pay. Zero privacy.
Someone is always hacking/following me because I despise capitalism and say that the wage is a form of slavery because it’s oppressive low wages that no one can live on. And I say that there should be equal wealth worldwide. And soon the whole world will be cashless, and then people can work part time building only Tower cities connected to maglev Trains worldwide! Equal wealth means there will be no money! And that alone eliminates millions of wage JOBS, where people had to work 40-100 hours a week, having no time for their children! Very soon capitalism will not be able to exist for another second! And then we’ll be FREE INDEED!
I’ve been consistently impressed with Al Jazeera’s reporting. Please keep up the good work.
The reason you and others are impressed is because we’ve been told to blindly trust our western media but not to trust Al Jazeera, because they say they’re funded by Qatar, as if our western media weren’t funded by anybody…

@Sky-dv8mj What do you mean?
@@namastenamaste7228 I’m mentioning the recent exposure by Al jazeera. So search for it
Is for this they created this state? A den of vipers.
Interesting.
Seems like a lot of effort to hack a phone and steal information, if that’s me I’m just creating a program for the masses and maybe call it Facebook, Twitter, Amazon or Tik Tok etc and then selling ads on it and making money as a side hussle 🙂
I HAVE NO DOUBT NETANYAHU IS DEVIL
What will happen when in the future we put chipsets in our heads? The concept of thought hacking or policing will become a reality
great stuff
And the apartheid criminal murderer zionist state of Israel is complaining why the world hate them…
You think now. That we are safe on web. No way. Basically its a web of evil. Don’t use it. They intentionally using it in evil way. No ethics value for them. Now question is, are these people still alive…? Bcz evil don’t want leak of sensitive spy ware activities.
The Sun Newspaper?
Oops
The world should throw away ther phones and computers if humanity want to keep there freedoms
Google manufactures Android. THAT is the spy in the phone.

Israel tough than diamond, but the mind of men keep changing day by day and modern technologies upgrades every second that counts.Hackers are masterminds generically genius.
If we all ( Faiths) truly follow what’s WRITTEN from God in stone..God’s Commandments .. There is no nation , No side that is Right ..when we violate his Commandments ..

Make peace .. and remember..

Seems either Pegasus didn’t prove to be infallible after all, or we have some pretty bad liars.
It should be impossible to cut off a bracelet. Get better quality.
We Americans have freedom of speech to express our views however we see them. But we can’t criticize Israel or tell the truth about what the Palestinians are going through under Israeli occupation because its considered ANTISEMITIC…. …
ISRAEL IS AN APARTHEID REGIME, THAT IS A FACT ACCEPTED BY MOST OF THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD….BUT AMERICA IGNORES THAT AND SUPPORTS ISRAEL 110 %
I PAID TAXES FOR 40 YEARS AND MY GOVERNMENT SENT MY MONEY TO ISRAEL, AN APARTHEID REGIME…that oppresses Palestinian.
OUR CORRUPT POLITICIANS ARE IN LOVE WITH the JEWISH VOTERS AND ARE DRAGGING US to the abyss ….America has values and standards and Israel does not meet those standards and values…
I can not believe that the 350 million Americans Approve of America supporting an apartheid regime that is Israel…..Biden is reckless with America’s policies and politics and he is leading us on a dangerous path …wake up people, do you really want your tax dollars going to an apartheid regime that enslaves and brutalizes Palestinian people … ???
Did you know Gaza city is a prison camp? Check it out on YouTube or Google and be enlightened
Leave your phone at home.
They are devils
The reason they have to do that is because they’ve got bad actors constantly trying to kill the country
And the truth is nso was not the first to hack what’s app it was an Islamic jihad group targeting us military personal in Afghanistan
Pegasus helped apprehend terrorists , Pegasus ain’t bad at all
A.I. Spying on another A.I. is next😅🎓
Is Google a link?
Is Google allowing this.
Wym?
When in doubt, go low tech. Meet in person. Ideally on a park bench with a trench coat and possibly a pastrami sandwich. Ditch any mobile phone.
They were all too busy spying on journalists and selling secrets to see the October 7 attack coming. The consequences of their failure is to dramatically overreact.
Smart phones are not a necessity…they are a convenience to weaken people. I’m proud to not own one.
Superb documentary. Respect from the UK
That’s amazing. You just use computer to communicate?

Tv of humans 😊
Wow i once received a strange call may be my phone is hacked as well
Yes exactly, set a bait like I did, then you can be sure like I was😮
Israel Intel has all the keys thru backdoors to all phones in the USA and abroad.
You’ve got huge military contractors like Lockheed Martin and Raytheon who manipulate this known backdoor.
They have on a few occasions claimed that their technology has been “stolen” by “potential threats “, which then allows them to get more billion dollar funding for new projects to keep America safe..
It’s a scam..
It’s a money making war scheme.
And Israel and Wall street backed Military America are making enormous profits off this.
Ho ascoltato il suo intervento.
Non riesco a capire se veramente non vede ciò che sta implementando la comunità Europea,

So while Arab youth were busy cooking roast whole lamb meat and consuming carbs and sugar tiny Israel was progressing and inventing geeky technology!
Yeah lsrail is going to care about human right 😢
The vile israelis at their blatant terrorist tactics once again …… boycott everything israeli……

This is some serious schitt !! Israel has assassinated 37 journalists since October. 7 th. !!! & over 100 U.N. Peace keepers !! U.N. Schools, U.N.refugee camps,etc… 13,000 civilians murdered by Israel, 6,000 children !! 100 hospitals, churches, mosques !!! China, Saudi Arabia, Israel etc. are squashing all dissent !!! Social engineering by threat of assassination, black listing, incarceration…etc…
geez… I wonder why the Israeli’s wont talk to Al Jazeera??? could it be they’re puppets for the ilsmist political system?
Interesting report.
I’m not sure what to make of it though…. spying around the world is as old as time, yet it’s expanded as the world has become more open, and technologically overloaded, but it’s everywhere, and not possible for a country to not conduct it when it comes to the security of either the ruling powers in dictatorships, and both ruling powers and citizens in a democracy.
This report centred in a particular area, with particular countries repeatedly mentioned, but lacked too much context to be a well rounded informative summary.
It plays out like fear mongering finger pointing, and an exercise in pointing out what the others are doing to avoid outing what ‘we and our allies are doing’.
It would be naive to think the same subterfuge isn’t playing out in the same manner – potentially worse – by Qatar and their PICs
Having said that, the investigators really know their stuff, and it was interesting from that POV.
This technology and other AI applications are a genuine threat to human security and freedom.
I was Israel in 2017 for the commemoration of the Charge of Beersheba, the charge of the 800 Australian Light Horse which opened up Israel and effectively finished the Ottoman Empire. We visited many Military Bases and in one, can’t remember the name, there was a passing out parade going on just below us, so I was filming it, then all of a sudden my phone glitched and the video had been wiped off my phone. Don’t know how the did it, but they hacked my phone..
Well done, Al Jazeera.
Just one point…
At the end of he video, it is stated that smartphone are a necessity in modern life.
No.
I have neither a smartphone nor a pacemaker, and my heart beats as necessary.
i really believe israel is using this system to track down child abuse whistleblowers. Look how many have been murdered
Report on the Talpiot program!
What does activist mean? and why should I trust anybody from those princedoms?
the phone is a tool just like money…. they can be used for good OR evil…..
There are only 2 options sane person can conclude after oct.7. about this “new revolutionary spy tech”. It is complete garbage and not effective at all, what Hamas had proved. Or Israel let Hamas attack on purpose. Both options are bad for Israel.
And nevertheless, H*mas broke into their “intelligent” security system. I guess, it’s not…well, that intelligent
And who uses the program the most? Israel.
Dont agree with the feem America first. Isnt that what started all of this? We must respect other sovereign not just only America.
Al zazeera is cousin of CNN, lives in different country and and Receives money from same Political party
How can one know whether their gadgets are hacked?
All this sophisticated systems developed in Israel and being sold to countries all over the globe to watch whoever they want … yet Israeli failed to predict attacks from hamas and fight and to eliminate the leaders of hamas and the other radical Islamic groups..???? So I am wondering… who is watching who in reality?? Why Israeli government and military are helpless against them?? Hmm? You tell me please 😢 kind of strange
white supremacist hack my phone I know for facts
Bangladesh Army working as UN peac keeping force helped Israel to implant spyware in many African Countries Government and military PC . UN still keep funding BANGLADESH ARMY AND EMPLOY them for peace keeping mission . It shows UN is also helping Israel to spread it’s evil tenticles to controll the world .
Nope! i don’t own a ”Smart Phone” ….. Hippie’s knew stuff!!!
A lot is happening in the World
It sure is. This document came out 2 years ago. The limitations have probably been eliminated by now
They also hack take over social media accounts and subscribe to pages in their languages. FB, What’s App…they are all full of false info in the names of others
Pegasus is very weak in a sense that it can be distracted by a simple phone using a system called;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; wireless
ISRAEL Spy all his Enemies Hacking All the Secrets with his Softly Sophisticated Internet (PEGASUS).???
This is 2 years old. This system is just the tip of the iceberg. Check out the other systems is real tests on palestinee today. These things could be used by oporators of slave rings, drug rings, espian age, infiltrating unions and human rights groups, silencing left wing causes in north America.
The only reason you have a smart phone is for their surveillance on you

I would not be surprised if there is some form espionage involved in the zero clicks like placing a government employee directly in Apple. One of these days low level signing keys will get leaked…. Imagine receiving a “special” update.
I don’t doubt that former US agents may have been persuaded to work for other nations, but what about former Israeli agents, who would be a bigger prize ? And just as obviously, could those “new employees” be moles ?
As most people are coming to understand, the internet has become the newest “nuclear power dream” : Initially capable of astounding help for humanity, but now just as likely to lead to the destruction of humanity.
A great piece from Al Jazeera here, who for years has been my source for “the other side of the mainstream US media news”. And now, I’m going to be a frequent follower of The Intercept and other sites mentioned here.
Like everything spyware is good or bad depending on who’s spying and who’s being spied on. Spying on innocent civilians in order to manipulate them in some way is evil.
Which is primarily what its used for of course
I don’t care or worry who spies its uselessly information no use to anybody god knows everything a person does in secret and openly. Only fear god not spies.

Spies; cursed are they
They hacked me monitor, target me, go everywhere i go these are the people who called themselves anonymous the only people who like my messages, throw anonymous messages but had not allowed me to use my phone and cannot phone anyone tell me who do they think i am. If they are clean, they would not espect anything. Imagine forcing me to submit every information about devices that i use by my name. The collecting every i formation of my phone and even the serial number and destroy every browser i use. This is the American government because the thought that i am a trait to the power inagin some one like me eho cannot feed himself and the call them self super power? No they are super killer. When we ask why or report they would reply that they are interested only the rich men. White people are liars.
This spyware will at some point turn on it’s owner
Interesting, why you have israhell journalist here?? They’re in the same side with NSO, so I’m not believe him because he will use it (his statement) to attack others that against his believe.
I simply don’t know if the International Court of Justice can be approached?
Your smart-phone? …that is just ONE of the technologies used to gleen data about you…these very words you’re reading right now, this instant, are being analyzed by AI algorithms ….summaries are being formed, “threats” being graded, relevancies being catagorizede….profit potentials calculated…all of this & much more some value of milliseconds after I click this blue-button denoted “Comment”. Selling your soul?, no not really…OK, time to add some “intellectual property” to the leviathan company that is Google.
This is very informative. Thank you so much👌
So Snowden was a truth teller, guess he had to go, I am surprised he isn’t dead.
Benjamin Netanyahu is a global terrorist who steals information and blackmails CEO’s and government officials all over the world. Israel is not our ally and has no loyalty to any country including the United States.
