New Tool Detects Pegasus Spyware Infections

/ 1 min read

New tool effectively detects Pegasus spyware infections. The Mobile Threat Hunting feature from iVerify employs a mix of malware signature detection, heuristics, and machine learning to identify anomalies in both iOS and Android devices, helping users spot potential spyware infections. For paying customers, the tool conducts regular checks, while a free version is available through the iVerify Basics app for $1, allowing users to generate diagnostic files for analysis. Although the service is designed to prioritize user privacy, an email address is required for notifications if spyware is detected, as evidenced by seven recent cases of Pegasus infections.
