Supreme Court Tech Committee Finds Malware, Pegasus Spyware Suspected

-

No matter how hard you try, electronic devices are always at risk of being hacked by potential hackers and cyber criminals who leave no stone unturned to look for logical loopholes in any company’s hardware so that they can siphon off funds or sensitive info of unsuspecti­ng users.

Despite the best security measures, almost every electronic device falls prey to malware and it was seen very recently when the technical committee ordered by the supreme court of India, no less, discovered malware on 5 smartphone­s, which they strongly suspect to be Pegasus spyware.

The committee was handed 29 phones for inspection out of which five were discovered with malware in their system with many experts strongly suspecting it to be Pegasus spyware. The phone owners requested the committee not to release the report and there are talks for further

inspection as a result.

The technical committee wants to inspect the malware infected phones further as they have extracted everything it has and they strongly believe that they have more informatio­n about public research material, malware, and other relevant data.
