- A consortium of news outlets from around the world, including FRONTLINE, has been investigating the use of the spyware called Pegasus and the Israeli company, NSO Group, that sells it to foreign governments. Pegasus has been used by NSO clients to spy on journalists, human rights activists and others. One target: Jamal Khashoggi’s fiancée.

The investigation is coordinated by the journalism nonprofit Forbidden Stories, with technical support from Amnesty International’s Security Lab.
Washington Post reporter Dana Priest is one of more than 80 journalists from 17 media organizations working on the collaboration, known as “The Pegasus Project.” She traveled to Turkey to verify if Pegasus had been used to surveil Khashoggi’s fiancée, Hatice Cengiz. NSO Group says its spyware is used to fight terrorism and serious crimes, and that its technology was not associated in any way with Khashoggi’s murder.
This reporting is part of an upcoming FRONTLINE documentary produced with Forbidden Stories to air on PBS.

Edward Snowden warned about this...
And many other people.
Operation Mockingbird is another one now, also.
Global spying is being done to everyone, always. Backdoors in every device depending on who makes it from what nation.. its sad and corruption is run by corporations now at the top of political donations.
👍🏻👍🏻💯
Correct.
Snowden specifically said the NSA made Stuxnet look like it came from Israel. Just so we're all on the same page about what exactly Snowden "warned" about.
Do I think the NSA was behind this? No. Do I think the Saudi military, which is literally trained on US military bases because they make the Military Industrial Complex go round with all their money, learned a thing or two about how to misdirect the origins of 8 year old spyware? Yes.
Pegasus was first discovered in 2013 by Citizen Lab, and was first sold by American Cyber Security firm, The Hacking Team. It's outdated, well researched and known, heavy-handed, doesn't hide in kernal, doesn't self-destruct, and leaves traces. It's an exploit of long-standing zero days in iOS, which Apple intentionally places because they enthusiastically cooperate with law enforcement & governments - including helping the CCP spy on Hong Kongers that overwhelmingly use iPhones.

Best journalism on tv. How many times you hear non profit journalism. Frontline and PBS are amazing. Thank you
Add Propublica to that list.
This revelation was made by The Wire and a French newspaper the name i can't remember. Not by frontline or pbs. In fact they're only covering it after it became huge worldwide.
PBS have become biased hacks in recent years. There are very few true journalists left in the world.
Sounds like the entire world is going to be an occupied territory soon.

Phone manufacturing company should add a manual key to disconnect microphone,camera & gps.
Or just go back to removable battery.
They have the power off button on the smart phone which makes the phone a piece of metal or plastic…
Buy Librem phone or Pine phone for such features.
Apple did a good step in this direction to have notification every time microphone or camera get on!! Of course not enough but it’s good..
Until u r not a person of interest, no need to worry about this. As Snowden said, it’s you against million dollars companies, u cannot win!!
@@engrumarkhan use a phone with physical kill switch for camera, mic, wifi etc like librem phone or pine phone.

To show you how good PBS is you need look no farther than here in Texas to where PBS stations have disappeared almost completely over the last 20 years. Thank you PBS for allowing me to watch you online.
@Unknown User since when is fair, unbiased reporting “spreading a liberal agenda”
I avoid ANY news outlet that uses inflammatory language (left or right leaning) and I do not see PBS do that. The litmus test to to read/listen/watch and pay attention to your emotions. If you get super angry, etc then most likely the stories are given in a way to make you feel angry. Or if I’m watching a news broadcast that demeans someone (whether I like them or not) I turn it off.
So, really, if YOU think PBS is liberal, more likely you just don’t want to hear the truth and would rather listen to someone claim Obama is a Muslim and Joe Biden has dementia but also runs the world’s largest crime syndicate that is so powerful even Putin is afraid.
@Unknown User being aware of your emotions is not the same as being triggered by them. It takes a certain maturity level to understand and maybe one day, you’ll get there. 👍🙏😎
@Unknown User nice russian spybot
@Unknown User lmao
Frontline is not PBS, Frontline is a different team compared to the PBS Newshour (biased politics) team that is on the channel daily. The reason it is not in Texas anymore, is because they are biased daily on the newshour portion of PBS. This is a solid fact, well documented by dozens and dozens of youtubers who report weekly on adult topics and truth that the hollywood NYC media groups cover up for their corporate advertising partners, including this one who gets donations from nonprofits from billionaires, for a reason... its a veil for their politics.
Obviously we only know what the media has reported about her, but I have been strangely moved by her poise and demeanor throughout what must be a horrific event in her life. She is clearly a strong and principled individual who has experienced a great loss at the hands of distorted, rich, and very powerful men!
Well said. 'Pegasus' is just the tip of the spear. This is a product that has likely already been duplicated to various levels of effectiveness and since it is a product, the cost of obtaining an effective copycat will be a $$$ race to the bottom. The potential client list is endless. Just use your imagination.
Khashoggi we will never forget what they have done.
Make sure you don't forget the Americans trained the assassins and gave the go ahead
@@assassin879 Can you provide a source to support that claim?
@@warlockCommitteeMeeting it's pretty clear who calls the shots nothing happens without the americans knowing first
@@warlockCommitteeMeeting hmmm not risking it
@@assassin879 So you are just making baseless accusations with no evidence.
Frontline is pure gold. I just click, no questions asked.
@Unknown User I am a 25 year old man from Zimbabwe. Using the word " liberal" to describe me is as far fetched as it gets. Frontline is the standard for investigative journalism. That doesn't mean I agree with every single thing they produce. It just means, more often than not, they get it right.
@Unknown User No, I currently live in Namibia
Your very nieve
This will be a good one, thank you frontline always the best journalism in the business. Very in depth coverage.
I honestly feel bad for the people who claim Frontline is lying because they are “liberal” but also believe there is a “Deep State” but then don’t want to believe when Frontline is reporting on ACTUAL government spying on citizens. We know the Saudi’s aren’t the only ones spying on citizens and this should scare the crap out of everyone in the US with a smartphone.
@Unknown User < - "gullible people" I started out with Edward R Morrow. I know real journalism.
Show where Frontline lied even once. So go back down the rabbit hole where you belong.
It's all fake news.

Oh Patriot Act, how adorable.
It's time for this company to start answering questions. They are selling their warez to criminals and should be held accountable. If they fail to respond then their corporate office should be left as a smoldering hole in the ground.
Never gonna happen...look at the religion of NSO...they do whatever they want under the disguise of antisemitism
Nothing is going to happen. They are Israelis after all. For them is carte blanche to do whatever they want without questions. All hell would have been let lose if it were Chinese, Russian, or Iranian company.

At last, a PBS video that has a comment section.
how does a surveillance company even exist overtly.. when already laws
Thank you!
When will the documentary air?
Phone maker need to resolve this horror problem. They need to take a measure to prevent pegasus. It's frightening.
This only proves one thing: everybody is in the game. Not just one company.

Thank you frontline, for always bringing us your valued journalism!
This and DW documentary channels are my favorite
She's Not brave. she just do what she has to do.
Y'all giving all women "brave badges" for all kinds of basic stuff.
A lot of people are not well known like her, don't have journalist contacts ect. and they are far more at risk to die anonymously killed at any moment.
Thank you FRONTLINE!

@@muhammedaydi8078 Because you are
Why people think that criticizing Israel because of the actions of an Private company located in Israel is legitimate?
Haven't you been doing that already since decades?
Lucky this can't be used on my home computer like turning on the camera, listening through the microphone, monitoring e-mails, tracing keystrokes, reading all my word documents, accounts, pictures, searches ...... nothing to worry about here. :P
BlackBerry is still the most secure.
Pegasus is for mobiles but for desktops n laptops there are other softwares which can do the same thing.
Indian govt planted evidences in laptops of rights defenders, activists, lawyers etc (recently confirmed by Arsenal digital forensics company) n arrested them on terr0rism charges. 3yrs on no trial and no bail, they continue to be incarcerated.
I got pulled over while test driving a vehicle earlier this year. I was detained for 3 hours while local law enforcement tossed the vehicle. During this time I was separated from my belongings immediately before being “detained” in the cruiser. This included my iPhone. Ever since that day in march my phone was never the same. With the most recent update for iOS it was brought to my attention that Pegasus is in fact on my phone and there is a page in the app that has a current campaign. I can’t dig much further into the perimeters of the app. BC I don’t have an account. So if I don’t have an account how is there a campaign running on my phone? And is it possible that when I saw these cops take my phone to the back of the Sargent’s vehicle that’s when it was loaded into my iOS? I haven’t deleted the app bc I want to preserve any evidence that may still be there. For instance if I can pinpoint the exact time / date the app appeared. And that time is while I’m documented NOT in possession of the phone then I’m hoping I’ll have a leg to stand on for some answers
Good interesting video. Please consider changing the sound track. It is extremely annoying.
What a horror.
Best show on TV! Well done.
Oh dear God!!! This woman helped to lead him into their trap! She was assigned way before she met him! Her meeting him was no accident, it was all calculated and she was very much in on it! The moment he went back to Turkey to get married everyone knew what's about to happen to him! They used the oldest trick in the book to get him where they want him and he fell for it!
Sorry for the loss of your fiancée, God's justice will take care of the killers.
Which god is that ?
How about apps that we install voluntarily? There are some apps that should bear some concern to privacy... There's a very populair routing app that is notorious and maybe should be banned.
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. Allow this to be a prime example of WHY reporters are so fucking invaluable. Undermining legitimate reporters as “fake news” allows for evil to prevail. How the fuck would we come to discover this if it weren’t for this kind of incredible, relentless reporting? I would never want to live in a world without reporters, without those who expose corruption, evil, etc…
Maybe someone should arrest NSO's CEO and extradite them to the US?
Oh right...
Israel owns US, so no question.
USA probably like: Oh wait its Israel company, its democracy spyware so its a good software. Nothing to see here
What you thing all this going on without Israeli government's approval, this NSO is a name only at the back end Israeli governement is behind all this, playing with the thousands of lives.
Imagine if something so powerful gets into the wrong hands . It's just like a silent nuclear bomb .

an interesting and unheard of demographic. Q would be impressed.
Basically delete your OS (files included), and install a custom one, and preferably use only open source apps
Edit : to be clear a custom ROM, like removing windows for Linux
Crazy

Good Job Frontline!!!
I think it's possible they use a variant of this system for "first responders". There is definitely abuse of it too. Unfortunately, requests for help yield unfruitful results
Time to revisit this serious problem
I am sorry English is not my first language but in which part of this report did they show or tell how they could tell that the phone was infected with Pegasus malware?
All people should be spied , especially these so called amnesty journalism people
Didn't they know that their super rich enemies would acquire it?
The software has the word sus in it.. I find that in itself to be sus af
I Phone too😁😁😄, then why that much COST????
Great piece of Frontline PBS, I can't wait to watch the entire Documentary. I wonder if there's international laws that can ban the use of this spyware and also make Israel pay some indemnización to Jamal Khashoggi's fiancée and/or his family.

The horse can indeed take a bite out of Apple Products just as it knocks on the Android's tin head
It is extraordinary naive of Israel to believe that the Pegasus would not get into the wrong hands despite so called vetting. Stupid of them.
Is it possible that Apple allowed Pegasus to run within its main OS codebase ? as it would be next to impossible for some apps to just get automatically installed and take photos, read messages, hack & send data without the consent of user - Apple guys need to clarify that their platform is really safe and not just ordinary type of phone OS with lots of cameras around
So, this is how Israel got recognition recently by some arab countries by selling pegasus...
