NSO's Pegasus iPhone hack is one of the most significant tech controversies of the year. Several reports in the past few months revealed an incredibly sophisticated iPhone hacking campaign. Pegasus allowed nation-state actors to spy on specific targets through their iPhones using a zero-day attack. The victim didn't even have to click a link in a message to install the Pegasus spyware program for the hack to work. Nor would they know that the iPhone was sending personal data to unknown attackers. In light of these iPhone security reports, Apple patched the exploit.
But Apple did not stop at merely fixing the vulnerability. Apple sued the Israeli company behind the spyware earlier this week. Apple then quickly moved to inform victims of the attack. As a result, the company indirectly revealed the kind of targets the Pegasus hackers went after.
