what does Pegasus spyware do

According to cybersecurity researchers, after installation, Pegasus will contact the control server to allow it to transmit commands and collect information from the infected device.

Making voice or video calls via WhatsApp, stealing passwords, contacts, text messages, and accessing the phone’s camera, microphone, GPS, and other information are all within its capabilities.

According to the Citizen Lab of the University of Toronto, “The malware is designed to evade forensic analysis, avoid being detected by antivirus software, and can be remotely disabled and deleted by the operator.”

As per Kaspersky researchers, Pegasus is modular malware. After scanning the target device, it installs the necessary modules to read user messages and emails, answer calls, take screenshots, record keystrokes, filter browsers History, contacts, etc.

Basically, it can spy on every aspect of the target's life."
