iPhones hit by updated Pegasus spyware
An updated Pegasus spyware exploit, deployed by NSO Group, was discovered on a Bahraini activist’s iPhone. Researchers at Citizen Lab determined that the phone has been infected since February 2021.
The new NSO Group exploit, dubbed ForcedEntry for its ability to bypass iOS’s BlastDoor security, is built on the cyberweaponry company’s Pegasus spyware.
