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)
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)

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. Zerotalk 02:40, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

New article needed for Pegasus project?
Place your opinion hereSherenk1 (talk) 11:43, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
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)
- John Cummings The section is getting expanded and hence would require an article by itself. Sherenk1 (talk) 12:14, 19 July 2021 (UTC)
- 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)

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.

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)

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!
