"This technical analysis provides the most detailed view yet into the inner workings of the Pegasus spyware system. This includes confirmation of key technical capabilities such as the infection vectors and methodologies used to infect devices, supported by analysis of internal NSO Group documents, that until now had only been identified via forensic investigations. It also presents new material further validating the accuracy and significance of the dataset underpinning the original Pegasus Project investigation. Finally, this research provides an updated analysis, drawing on previously published Pegasus forensic evidence and newly released materials, to validate the technical methodology used to forensically link Pegasus spyware attacks targeting different victims as originating from the same Pegasus customer.

A key aim of this publication is to document and demystify the functionality and operations of technological systems like Pegasus. We hope that it will inform the wider spyware accountability community on how complex surveillance systems such as Pegasus are used by government customers, and also illustrate the key and ongoing role of spyware vendors in keeping such systems operational. We believe this public understanding is of critical value to technologists, researchers, and policy makers and others with an interest in understanding the targeted surveillance ecosystem and threats posed to human rights by surveillance technologies.

The contents of this technical research draw heavily on a large pool of confidential NSO Group training material, presentations and internal technical documentation which were disclosed as part of a long-running civil case taken by WhatsApp and Meta against NSO Group in U.S. court. This new material provides an unprecedented insight into the evolution of NSO Group’s spyware."

"Health data is increasingly an important part of law enforcement or government investigations. Wearable data has been critical in a number of cases, where information about heart rate and steps was used to determine the whereabouts of individuals. And the surveillance company Penlink calls fitness trackers and wearables an “overlooked source” for law enforcement since they tend to show movement patterns and changes in heart rates. Law enforcement can try to get access to this data through subpoenas or warrants.

There are many potential privacy issues with these sorts of devices, including whether the companies who make them share or sell information to third-parties. But here we are choosing to focus on two facets we’re concerned with around health data itself: 1) whether the company shares information with law enforcement and governments and 2) if they offer end-to-end encryption, which means the company itself can’t access that health data to begin with."
