I don’t understand how Pegasus can still exist now that everyone knows about it. Most hacks can be fixed with a patch, once it’s widely known. Whats different about Pegasus?
In: Technology
Because the attacker and defender work on 2 very different security models.
The attack only has to find a single flaw within the entire system to gain control. The defender has to try and find every possible hole to make sure there is not a single gap. This puts the ball firmly in the attackers court as its beyond easy to over look something simple.
The difference is that pegasus is designed for one off, ultra high value targets designed and sponsored by people with a nearly infinite supply of wealth. They can hire some of the best security experts money can buy and turn that impenetrable wall of security into swiss cheese. Even if the one flaw they used is discovered, there is probably hundreds more waiting to be found
