Pegasus: the spyware technology that threatens democracy

The Guardian lays out how Pegasus spyware, sold by Israel's NSO Group, can silently take over a phone's camera, microphone and location data, and who around the world has bought it and pointed it at journalists, lawyers and human rights defenders. It is the explainer companion to the Pegasus Project investigation, built for anyone who wants the mechanics before the politics.
