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
As far as we know the exploit used by Pegasus was patched by Apple in Sep 2023. Of course there may be people who haven’t updated their phone since then and are still vulnerable. Alternatively, there may be yet more bugs in the OS that nobody but the makers of Pegasus know about.
Software security overall is a cat and mouse game. Every large complex system has vulnerabilities. The good guys try to catch and fix them before the bad guys can catch and exploit them. Both sides are throwing an incredible amount of money and resources at their respective tasks.
