What is Pegasus Spyware?

For the past few days, the topic of discussion is the same in these two places, world politics and technology world. That is Pegasus Spyware. After the incident of monitoring the phones of human rights activists, journalists, lawyers, and politicians of various countries around the world was leaked, this software developed by Israel's private company NSOgroup is now going on all over the world. Let's talk about the spyware that changed the world.


Pegasus is basically surveillance software. Israeli company NSO E has developed the software. With which anyone's mobile goes upside down. It's not a simple oversight. Earlier, only two ends of the conversation could be heard to get a call on the phone. And the hackers take control of the entire phone through the software. Phone conversations WhatsApp chats, pictures, and what information is on the phone is known. The more terrible use is that the person using the mobile does not know that his phone has been hacked. All information is being trafficked to a specific group. But if you want to install Pegasus software on someone's phone, you have to get that phone within reach first. right? Here also Pegasus is a hundred times better than any other hacking software. Common hacking software is sending a link to a website by hackers via email or some other means. Clicking on that spam link will download the software. What is new in Pegasus is that this software can be installed on any phone by making voice or video calls on WhatsApp. Suppose you receive a call from an unknown number on your WhatsApp. You received it.

You will not know that this software will be installed on your phone without your knowledge. You are walking around with a terrible spy inside the phone. Anyone will be surprised to hear what can be done through this software called Pegasus. All data stored on your phone through Pagasis will be transferred to others. Hackers can enter your phone and record the conversation. You can know your location by GPS tracking. Can turn on your camera secretly. Can message, can see WhatsApp messages, can know all Pegasus. Not only that, if you want to trap yourself, any conspiratorial pictures, videos or files can be left on your phone. Later the police will come and catch you. This is why Pegasus is called the world's scariest software. You might be thinking, hey, I use an iPhone worth lakhs of rupees. The security system of this phone is very strong. Then you are in fool's heaven. Android and iPhone are similar to Pagasus software. l


There is no jury to break the iPhone's safe security system. Many people are thinking that WhatsApp or Telegram messages are Pegasus. They cannot be read by anyone other than the sender and receiver. Wrong. If Pegasus Spyware is installed on your phone, hackers can easily take over all WhatsApp or Telegram messages. Not only that, you can also send a message to someone without your knowledge and delete it before you receive the message. You may wonder how a small software can do this impossible. Let's take you back in time. Not far away. In the year two thousand and sixteen. In the same year, researchers learned about an early version of Pegasus. At that time, text messages or emails were sent to the specific person's phone. So there would be no link. If you click on that link, Pegasus will take over the phone. But compared to that time, NSO has made many innovations in their surveillance equipment. Now Pegasus can take over the phone even if you don't click on the link. Again, this spyware can enter the phone by using a software error or bug, the phone manufacturer may not even know about any error.

In 2019, WhatsApp reported that NSO software had sent malware to 1400 phones by taking advantage of such a flaw. For that, only one call was made from WhatsApp to the specific person's phone. And through this call, Pegasus code would be installed on the phone. Recently, MSO started sending spyware using Apple's iMessage software bug. Any such software is usually installed when buying the phone. Like iMessage or very popular software like WhatsApp. Companies like NSO find out the coding of this software. Because it gives the opportunity to remove spy weight on many phones at the same time. In such cases, even if the owner of the phone does not click on the spyware-laden message, his phone is automatically hacked. Forensic analysis of the victim's phones has shown that Pegasus can be inserted into a specific phone using any wireless transmission from the vicinity of the target if the normal technique does not work. Once it gets into the phone, this spyware can capture almost all types of information or files. SMS, address book, call history, calendar, email, and Internet browsing and history can be seen. When Pegasus successfully attacks an iPhone, the software gains administrative power over that phone or device. Pegasus can do much more than what the owner of the phone can do.



Who uses Pegasus? That is, who are the buyers? Let us give some information here to buy the service of Pegasad costs about 4 crore rupees. And to install it on the phone of every ten people, it is necessary to calculate five crore rupees. The question is what was the need to make software? Who spends billions of money using this spyware? And why? The NSO claims to have developed the Pegasus software so that government intelligence and law enforcement agencies in various countries can use it to counter militant terrorists. The Mexican government claims that it has used Pegasus to arrest the drug lord El Chapu, but it is only the flip side of the software used in most countries to monitor opposition politicians and dissidents. It is known that through this Pegasus software, the Indian government was able to hack the phone of the leader of the opposition party, Rahul Gandhi. Not only Rahul but about three hundred people including Supreme Court judges, journalist activists, and leaders of various political parties have been accused of surveillance through Pegasis against the Modi government. All of them are known as opposition to the government. That is to say, the governments were using the people's tax money to ax their power to spy on the opposing ideologues day after day. This happened in Bangladesh after a few days of a phone conversation leak.


Have you ever thought about making fun of them on Facebook? By doing so, the rights of the citizens are being undermined. The personal privacy of people who spend your money is being violated. Did this idea come to mind? The list of Pegasus user countries has not yet been published. But is it possible to guarantee that the name of Bangladesh is not in that list? A total of seventeen mass media together with the famous English daily Guardian brought this Pegasus scandal to the fore. This is another rare instance. Never before have so many media houses come together behind one issue. This time ran. Because the whole thing involves the personal privacy of the people of the world. I am not saying that software like Pegasus is not needed. Such spyware is very effective for ensuring people's safety. But instead of providing security, these software are used more to protect the dictator's power. The whole thing gets involved in the dirty game of holding business and power. Then the spyware will do more harm than good to people. That's exactly what happened with Pegasus.

Why the US government 30$ trillion owe?

  The United States is in a lot of debt. Currently the country owes $27.2 trillion. But who would even lend them that much money? Who does the US owe this massive sum?  Well, the answer to that is pretty simple. In large part, it owes itself that money, but there's also quite a few other countries it owes to. the US essentially owes two groups of people, the general public, which can be other countries or even investors in the US and itself. But before we get into who makes up those groups and what the percentages look like, first let's get some basics. Whenever the US government needs money, it raises that money through the issuing of savings bonds or treasury bonds. These bonds are basically pieces of paper that say the US will pay the person or agency that buys it back with a little bit of interest. Many people want to buy bonds because they're pretty solid investments, like banks, foreign governments, and maybe even you. The debt ceiling, which you may have heard about,...

China really does not want war? Taiwan then whose? Why is Taiwan so important to America and China?

China is playing with peril. still, America will intermediate militarily to cover the island, If China invades Taiwan. This is what US President Joe Biden said during a meeting with the leaders of the Quintet in Tokyo on May 23. China is not sitting still. Beijing's Foreign Ministry prophet Wang Wenbin stressed that Taiwan is an integral part of mainland China. There is no room for concession or concession. Encouraging Taiwan's independence would be like playing with fire. This is what Chinese President Xi Jinping said in 2021. still, there would be nothing to worry about, If the issue was limited to such a war of words.

The End of Doller empire !

The End of Doller empire!  Saudi Arabia is in discussions with China to price some of its oil sales in yuan, but as ties with Washington continue to be strained. Beijing and Moscow are diversifying. China and Russia have taken another step closer towards dumping the dollar and agreed to trade in their respective national currencies, the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan. The End of Doller empire Hi everybody. the US dollar has been the most powerful currency in the world for 80 long years.  This reserve currency status gives the United States such unprecedented power over the world economy that can cripple the economy of any country within a fortnight. And because of this power, it has even dominated giant players like Russia and China. But you know what guys? This is where China and Russia have actually come up with a master plan to kill the dollar dominance in the world. And if you look at the past 10 years data, you will see that it's actually working out quite well. In 19...

Are we alone in the universe?

A dog! They are looking at the stars in the sky. As we see. May or may not be breathing. Creating or not creating. But one question is right between them. Just like us. Are we alone in the universe? When the Armstrongs returned from the moon, they were quarantined for several days. Why? Because if a virus or any other germs came through them from the moon, i.e. very close to our satellite, scientists thought about the possibility of life in this satellite, isn't it strange? Let's go to the universe in search of life. Earth is the only source of life? This question is very old. There are ten thousand times more stars in our Milky Way alone than there are sand dunes on this planet. To be more precise, this number is ten to the power twenty-two to ten to the power twenty-four or more. If five percent of its stars are like our sun, then the number stands at five hundred billion billion stars. Very good talk. If we assume that even one out of every five Sun-like stars has water and ...

What is the meaning of the rate race?

It's complicate to calculate exactly when you joined the rat race. But rest assured you're in this race. Flash back the time of reading in class eight? Ahead of the education test computation Algebra figures doctoring all the complex formulas of wisdom Get up beforehand in the morning at the private instructor's house and study late at night. You must have spent a lot of time busy with work compared to your age? We all spent. At that time, the guardian must have said that this is a many further days. Life is peaceful and peaceful only when the education test is over. You have heard these words numerous times in numerous occurrences of life. Take the SSC test, you get freedom when you get to council. Life will be full of joy once you can get into varsity. Enter the job life formerly. Having fun with your own plutocrat is different. Have you heard of this?  Can you match the numbers standing at the end of the age clock? What do you think? Has life gotten a little easier after...

What is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

Depression has an additional air or disease in English which is called Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD and in Bengali it is called Suchibai. Sounds like a very common disease doesn't it? We do not give importance to this disease because it is made fun of because it is considered normal. And on that occasion, this weed grows bigger. Pain increases and that pain is much more intense than depression. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common mental health condition where a person has obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. OCD can affect men, women and children. Some people start having symptoms early, often around puberty, but it usually starts during early adulthood. Here is a detail view of OCD. According to the report of the World Health Organization, about 700,000 people commit suicide in the world every year. Ninety percent of these suicides are due to depression. People with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or OCD may rarely reach the stage of suicide. But the life...

Who controls of our whole economic money?

  I'm gonna start this article with a quote. Henry Ford once said it is well enough that the people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system. For if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning. I quote this because it encapsulates the fact that the contents of this article may be unsettling compared to the articles that I normally make.  I still feel compelled to make this article because I've been exploring the financial world for the last four years and it's definitely given me a more complete view of the world I want to share some of what I've come across with you guys. I'm also going to do a article about cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin in the future and to understand why Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies may continue to rise. It's critical that you understand the contents of this article. I hope that you find this topic interesting and that inspires you to do your own research afterwards.  Now, with that sai...

Why money worth anything ?

  Money is arguably one of the most important things in the world. While happiness and joy might outrank it at least on your uplifting Instagram feed, money does seem to make things easier. When you actually stop and think about paper money, though, we're left with a perplexing conundrum. There's nothing inherently valuable about these banknotes, at least today. So why does money have any value at all? Over time? How paper money is valued has actually changed, so to understand how modern money is worth anything. First, we have to look back to the early days of paper money. In the early days of governmental currency, money wasn't paper. Rather, it was usually a coin made of a precious metal like gold or silver. The value of that money was intrinsic as the value of the metal that made it up. If you melted a gold coin down, you'd have the same amount of gold as the coin was worth. As this system of money became impractical, governments decided to come up with a new way of ...

He boarded a bus to go home. And just before the last stop at his house. Quite a lot of the way. So he put it on the seat. The eyes may have come from fatigue. When he opened his eyes he saw that he was the only passenger in the bus and a boy was standing next to the driver. He asked the driver if the bus will not go forward? The driver said he would go. The young driver told her to sit quietly, but the young woman felt that something unusual was going to happen. Much like the sixth Indra someone told him something is very bad. So he wanted to get off the bus. Then the driver increased the speed of the bus. of the young woman. Nothing left to understand. Hell may descend inside the bus within a short time.
