Israeli Pegasus Spyware Can Break Into, Steal From Users' Cloud Accounts

Description

An Israeli software company has developed a tool with the ability to break into users’ cloud-based accounts. NSO Group's Pegasus software can copy authentication keys and access cloud services like Google Drive or iCloud. According to Digital Trends, it can also access messaging services like Facebook Messenger. One pitch document from NSO’s parent company Q-Cyber was prepared for the government of Uganda. It advertised the ability of Pegasus to ‘retrieve the keys that open cloud vaults’ and ‘independently sync-and-extract data’.”
