A fact from Pegasus (spyware) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 16 September 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the Israeli software company NSO Group has been identified as the possible developer of the iOS spyware Pegasus?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2016/September. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/NSO Group.

Wikipedia

This article was nominated for merging with NSO Group on 2020-06-25. The result of the discussion was to not merge.

This article has been viewed enough times in a single week to appear in the Top 25 Report. The week in which this happened:

July 18 to 24, 2021

2012 coverage in Hebrew, native speaker needed

The Pegasus software has been covered in this 2012 journal article: יש לנו מאזין על הקו. Could some native speaker please use it to improve this article? --bender235 (talk) 17:18, 28 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You look like an optimist. I saw a docu of the Canadian Cyberwars series that included Pegasus. 2001:8003:A921:6300:6CCF:E770:8173:6896 (talk) 23:10, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Pegasus in Poland AD 2019

US court case

This article does not mention a court case involving NSO versus WhatsApp, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Cisco and Dell. It seems rather important. See this for a recent Israeli article on it but there must be more information available. Zero^talk 02:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

References for new coverage

Just putting them here so they're easy to find for someone to expand the article and other articles of people effected etc

Thanks

New article needed for Pegasus project?

Place your opinion hereSherenk1 (talk) 11:43, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Hi Sherenk1 can you explain what the distinction is between the project and the software? Thanks, John Cummings (talk) 12:12, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- John Cummings The section is getting expanded and hence would require an article by itself. Sherenk1 (talk) 12:14, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Went bold and created an article over here: Project Pegasus revelations

Section on detecting Pegasus

Is there any information available on how Pegasus can be detected on a device? Collecting references below (which may be useful for other sections as well)

Thanks

Fraud

The article, in its present form, claims that

It was reported that the Indian government used Pegasus to spy on Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan and diplomats from Iran, Afghanistan, China, Nepal and Saudi Arabia.[32]

This is a falsehood, as the cited source states that "The numbers of Imran Khan and several of his ambassadors in India appear on the list as potential targets." The key is "potential". There were never any allegations that Khan's phone was spied upon.

Wikipedia is a fraud. 103.77.137.77 (talk) 15:17, 22 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 7 August 2021

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In the line "kernel mapping table that has valued all the way back to iOS 7", the word "valued" should be changed to "values"

Look for the phrase "kernel mapping table that has values all the way back to iOS 7" in ^[1] , which is listed as the source of the line above. Crazyengineer (talk) 15:01, 7 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright infringement considerations

I'm not familiar with the subtle differences of Wikipedia policies between English Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. Theoretically speaking: can I create video recording of pegasus running on my phone and deleting eg. seat reservations I already paid for? Thanks in advance. Take care. Cheers!

Copyright would not be your main problem. That would be the policy against original research. Zero^talk 12:29, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I suppoe NSO Group would be the copyright owner of such screen captures. I'm aware of the no original research policy, thank you. Mugli (talk) 14:00, 20 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
