iVerify’s mobile device security tool, launched in May, has identified seven cases of Pegasus spyware in its first 2,500 scans. This milestone brings spyware detection closer to everyday users, underscoring the escalating threat of commercial spyware.
How the Tool Works
iVerify’s Mobile Threat Hunting uses advanced detection methods, including:
- Malware Signature Detection: Matches known spyware patterns.
- Heuristics: Identifies abnormal behavior indicative of infections.
- Machine Learning: Analyzes patterns to detect potential threats.
The service is offered to paying customers, with a free version available via the iVerify Basics app for a nominal fee. Users can run monthly scans, generating diagnostic files for expert evaluation.
Spyware’s Broadening Scope
The detected infections reveal Pegasus spyware targets beyond traditional assumptions: Victims include business leaders, government officials, and commercial enterprise operators.
