Are you a high profile political activist, journalist, terrorist, etc who would be targeted by a repressive government?

If not, then you have not been ‘hacked’ with Pegasus or anything else. That is incredibly expensive and you’re simply not worth the expense.


If you got an email saying you were, it’s a scam. File it as spam and move on.

You wouldn’t know. But if it’ll make you feel better reboot your phone/ computer. I read somewhere that re starting your phone can help purge some bugs 🐞

It is not a bug. It is a phishing messages that has been received by many people and has been seen here multiple times. It is an attempt to scare people into sending them money. There is no Pegasus software installed and they have no pictures that they threaten to send to others. Nothing needs to be done other than deleting the email and move on with your day.
