Title: A New Phone Scanner That Detects Spyware Has Already Found 7 Pegasus Infections
Key Points:
iVerify's Tool: The mobile device security firm iVerify launched a spyware detection tool in May, which has already identified seven infections by the notorious Pegasus spyware.
Detection Methods: The tool uses a combination of malware signature-based detection, heuristics, and machine learning to identify spyware on iOS and Android devices.
User Accessibility: iVerify offers both a paid version for regular checks and a free version that allows users to scan their devices once a month.
Target Profiles: The detected infections included not only journalists and activists but also business leaders and government officials, indicating a broader range of targets than previously thought.
Privacy and Security: iVerify's infrastructure is designed to be privacy-preserving, requiring users to submit a diagnostic utility file for analysis.
