Capítulo #5 - Proteção contra Pegasus
Todos os anos, governos, agências de aplicação da lei, militares e corporações investem bilhões de dólares na construção e compra de spyware malicioso - software projetado para se infiltrar silenciosamente no dispositivo de um usuário e permitir que invasores visualizem o conteúdo sem detecção.
Esse ano, o Projeto Pegasus revelou que usuários deste tipo de spyware, conhecido como Pegasus e desenvolvido pelo grupo NSO, tiveram como alvo os celulares pertencentes a milhares de pessoas em mais de 50 países, incluindo executivos de negócios, políticos, jornalistas, e ativistas de direitos humanos.
