Security Researchers Continue to Detect Pegasus Spyware Attacks Due to Operational Security Negligence

Despite the stealthy nature of spyware, security researchers continue to detect attacks using the Pegasus spyware, partly due to neglected 'operational security.' Clients of NSO Group, the company behind Pegasus, regularly see their surveillance operations exposed. These detections are primarily due to operational errors rather than technical flaws in the software itself. The impacts include violations of privacy and human rights, often targeting journalists, activists, and political opponents.
