What I am going to write now might sound bizarre today but will be proved right perhaps few years from now.
So here u go- the #ProjectPegasus is the finest example of idiot media houses falling in the trap of agencies, who planned this operation. Hats off to the geniuses!

First things first- the spyware aptly titled #Pegasus after some mythical horse is indeed a myth and the real software, that NSO group sells, may bear a different name. The advent of a spyware happened in the backdrop of historical events in the world of technint.
The field of technint was facing severe heat generated by revelations around XKeyscore en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XKeyscore and boundless informant program en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boundless… - both programs became known to the world during 2013
See how quickly The Project Pegasus tanked - front pages of NYT, Jerusalem Post, WSJ and Boston Globe today!
Even WAPO seems to have given up- perhaps danda by Apple must have made them run that story on their front page today!
Even Haaretz seems to have given up!

@kabira_tweeting The records show that Lavasa was selected for potential surveillance weeks after he had dissented not once but in five different matters of alleged violations of the Model Code of Conduct by then BJP president Amit Shah and Prime Minister Modi.

Rumours, of the tapping of Indian political, judicial & media figures, using Israeli NSO Group's Pegasus platform, are circulating. The Modi govt has allegedly purchased the platform (Pegasus is only sold to govt agencies).
This thread might be worth re-visiting:
This thread might be worth re-visiting:
Compromising phones thru Pegasus mirrors the phishing attacks that allegedly compromised computers of civil activists Rona Wilson & Surendra Gadling and planting of forged documents in the #bhimakoregaon "case":
Some seem to think that anyone can buy a copy of Pegasus in the local Chroma outlet. The vendor, NSO, sells it only to Govt agencies. Also, NSO is supervised by Israeli Ministry of Defence like other Israeli Def/Sec vendors.
