      Did you even read the article? 0-day vulnerabilities are not unique to WhatsApp. Even Signal can be exploited given it’s complexity.

    My mind is still boggled how Pegasus shit is illegal. They buy 0day exploits of western software and sell them to western criminals to do crime in the west and somehow Israel is still our ally?

      Yeah, but Israel created a hacking services industry to commit crimes on behalf of the corporate oligarchy, therefore they are just an extension of surveillance capitalism, which is very legal and very cool!

      Completely different to the brown and Asian hackers you should be scared of.
