While most spyware is 限られた/立憲的な in 範囲 - 収穫ing data only from 明確な/細部 parts of an 感染させるd system - Pegasus appears much more powerful, 許すing its 監査役 近づく-制限のない 接近 to and 支配(する)/統制する over an 感染させるd 装置.

This 含むs 接近ing 接触する 名簿(に載せる)/表(にあげる)s, emails, and text messages, along with 蓄える/店d photos, ビデオs and 音声部の とじ込み/提出するs.

And it can also be used to 記録,記録的な/記録する any new 後継の or 去っていく/社交的な phone calls.?

早期に 見解/翻訳/版s of the ウイルス 感染させるd phones using 天然のまま 'phishing' attacks in which 使用者s are conned into downloading the ウイルス on to their own phones by clicking on a malicious link sent 経由で text or email.

But 研究員s say the ソフトウェア has become much more sophisticated, 偉業/利用するing vulnerabilities in ありふれた phone apps to 開始する,打ち上げる いわゆる '無-click' attacks which can 感染させる 装置s without the 使用者 doing anything.

For example, in 2019 WhatsApp 明らかにする/漏らすd that 1,400 people had been 感染させるd by NSO Group ソフトウェア using a いわゆる '無 day' fault - a 以前 unknown error - in the call 機能(する)/行事 of the app.
