Summary

Did you know that a hostile government could take control of your phone without your knowledge? Pegasus is the most powerful cyber-surveillance system on the market - available to any government that can afford its multimillion-dollar price tag. With just a missed call or an unopened message, it can access and control your smartphone, including its location, camera, microphone and contents. Sold to repressive regimes to spy on thousands of innocent people, including heads of state, diplomats, human rights defenders, lawyers, political opponents, and journalists. This is the story of how Pegasus was exposed, written by Laurent Richard and Sandrine Rigaud, the two intrepid reporters who revealed the scandal in collaboration with Amnesty International and an international consortium of journalists. After a dangerous and secretive investigation, their findings shook the world. Pegasus reveals how thousands of lives have been turned upside down by this unprecedented threat, and exposes the chilling new ways governments and corporations are laying waste to human rights - and silencing innocent citizens
