Apple iPhone users need to install this emergency iOS 14.8 update ASAP!

One of the researchers who helped discover the spyware, John Scott-Railton, a senior researcher at Citizen Lab, says, “This spyware can do everything an iPhone user can do on their device and more.” And because of the zero-click-capability, a user will not receive the usual tell-tale sign that his phone is infected, such as a suspicious link sent via text or email. Thus, an iPhone owner might not discover that his device has been compromised until it is too late.

NSO Group has said in the past that it sells its spyware only to those governments that meet certain human rights standards. However, over the last six years, the Pegasus spyware has surfaced on the phones of activists, lawyers, dissidents, doctors, children, and nutritionists in countries like the United Arab Emirates, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia.
